Peterboro , New Hampshire.
1899.
July & Aug.
 Loxia leucoptera.- A single bird observed August 6th.
flying about just over the tops of the spruces on the summit 
of Pack Monadnock uttering its characteristic notes at short, 
regular intervals.
[margin]Additions 
to the
1898 List[/margin]
  Spinus pinus.- On July 28th while in the hemlock woods
which shade the brook that passes through Ben Mere farm
I distinctly heard the flight call of a Pine Linnet
repeated several times near at hand. The bird appeared
to be passing low down over the tops of the trees.
  Contopus borealis.- On August 3rd and again two days
later an Olive-sided Flycatcher was heard calling at intervals
during most of the forenoon in the spruce woods beyond
the meadows just below the Day's house. On both occasions
the "three deer" note was exclusively used. The bird must
have come from some other locality or region, otherwise
its presence would certainly have been detected before the
 date just given.
  Botaurus lentiginosus.- On July 12th. I had a fleeting glimpse [sic] [glimpse] 
of what I took to be a Bittern flying around a bend of
the Contoocook River half-a-mile above the village. A certain
identification was made at West Peterboro two
days later which on the 20th and again on the 31st
I saw a bird standing erect in the marsh that borders
the long pond or bayou between West Jaffrey & Rindge.
  Antrostomus vociferous. Included in the 1898 list on hearsay
evidence merely. On August 7th of the present summer one passed
close over my head as I was driving at evening in the valley not 
from the village.
