64 Birds of Lewiston-Auburn 



startling sound of a partridge in winter makes one feel 

 the presence of life when walking through the wood in a 

 snow storm. 



Note. — Bob-white, or Quail, has appeared in Maine but none 

 in this vicinity. 



An English Pheasant has been in Waterboro and three in 

 Springvale, Maine, this winter, 1918, coming to houses for food. 

 It is advancing this way from Massachusetts where it was intro- 

 duced and no doubt some day will be in this vicinity. A strange 

 bird has been reported here whose description was that of a 

 pheasant, but I have no proof of one being in this neighborhood.
