Hylocichla mustelina (Gmel.) Ridgw. 1880. 

 Accidental visitant at Montreal. This thrush is said to occur 

 in the Eastern Townships, but I have never met with it in this 

 district yet. Have seen one specimen taken at Roxton Falls, 

 Que. {Wintle.) A rare summer resident around Ottawa. {Ottawa 

 Naturalist, Vol. V.) I have seen a few of these birds in Leeds Co., 

 Ont., but they are not common. A few breed as i have met with 

 a nest from which the youtjg had flown, that evidently belonged 

 to this species; and another on a limb of a hemlock about eight 

 feet from the ground in Frontenac Co., in June, 1902. {Rev. C. 

 J. Young.) I have one taken at Emsdale, Parry Sound district, on 

 May 17th, 1897; in September, 1898, near the narrows of Lake 

 Joseph, I came across a flock feeding on choke-cherries. I counted 

 seventeen and there were more in the flock. Dr. Brodie says 

 they were common in June at Port Sydney, Muskoka. (/. H.

 undergrowth, placed in the forks of a beech about seven feet 

 from the ground. {A. F. Young!)
