them on the iSth, without finding any, but on going a little further on, I 

 surprised two males feeding on the ground, but failed to collect them. 

 Meeting a friend we went to where he had previously seen a large flock 

 feeding on the ground. We soon came on them still feeding on the 

 ground, and I secured several pairs in first rate condition. — -W. CROSS. 



January 22, I came on a flock of about fifteen Evening Grosbeaks in 

 a field north of the city, and collected three specimens. They were 

 feeding on the ground, on witch hazel, white oak and red hawthorn. 

 On my way home I saw a pair on Jarvis St., feeding on berries of the 

 mountain ash. — J. B. WILLIAMS. 



January 24, I observed three Evening Grosbeaks in Rosedale, and 

 watched them for some time. They fed on the ground, and their actions 

 were much like those of the Pipilo erythropkthalmus. No doubt they were 

 in search of fallen fruits and seeds. Two specimens secured this day 

 had been feeding on the sprouted seeds of maple ; their stomachs wera 

 excessively distended. — E. E. Thompson. 



January 24, I saw two pairs of Evening Grosbeaks in the Normal 

 School Grounds, feeding on mountain ash berries. They were very tame.
