WOOD NOTES WILD. 77 
I am told that this bird has also a very musical whis- 
tling call. 
I found the grosbeaks in Belknap County, New Hamp- 
shire, in June, 1886, and in St. Lawrence County, New 
York, in June, 1887. 
In their fall migrations they go in flocks, occasionally 
calling upon the farmers for food, appearing as tame and 
as much at home as if they had been raised by them. 
Flocks have passed through northern New Hampshire on 
their journey South in December, paying leisurely visits 
to the cider mills for the apple-seeds in the cast-off pum- 
ice, apparently very little concerned about the cold.
