THE BOHEMIAN WAX-WING IX OAKLAXD COUXTY, MICHIGAN. 



One day in November, 190:;, while walking through a second growth of 

 woods about a mile and a half from this place I found myself in the midst 

 of a large flock of Bohemian Wax-wings {Ampclis garrulus) an instant 

 most interesting to me as it was my first meeting with ihem in lower ^Michigan. 



Their constant jumping about the trees, noisy chatter and handsome ap- 

 pearance, render them very interesting indeed, much more so than the com- 

 mon Cedar W^ax-wing, which is b}' no means lacking in interest. 



Having been disabled most of the winter, 1 have been unable to revisit 

 ihe locality, but owing to their wandering habits, I suppose they long since 

 left the vicinity. Wilfred A. Brothekton.

THE OPENING OE THE SEASON. 

 Thursday, February 25th, a bitter cold day, I left Augusta, Mich., at 2 

 P. M., and about 4 P. M. found a nest of the Great Horned Owl {Bubo 

 virginiaiius). Nest was seventy feet up in tip top of a large sycamore. A 

 Great Blue Heron hatched her eggs in it last year. There were three heron 

 nests in the treet, of which this was the center one. 



The nest contained three eggs. The last evidently had just been laid.

A FACT TO BE REMEMBERED. 



Some time last autumn a Red-eyed Vireo {Virco olivaccus) was brought 

 to me for identification. The person did not think it could be of that 

 species because the eyes were black. Fortunately I had "gathered in" a 

 family or two dunng past vears and was able to explain that all the young 

 of-the-year have black eyes.

AMERICAN GOLDENEYES WINTERING ON THE SPEED 

 Two male and two female American Goldeneyes (Glauctouetfa clangula 

 americana) have wintered here on a piece of open rapidly running water on 

 the Speed. They are very active and spend much of their time diving after 

 food.
