  Sposilla monticola. - On the morning of the 19th I
distinctly heard the thin, feeble chirp of a Tree Sparrow coming
from a thicket of shrubs in the garden but I was unable 
to get a sight of the bird.
  Junco hyemalis.- A solitary [female] seen at Payson Park on the 30th.
  Zonotrichia albicollis.- Two seen (one of them "sang quite well") on
the 1st. and one heard chirping on the 2nd and again on
the 7th. all by W. Dean in our garden.
  Passerella iliaca.- One seen in the garden on the 28th. by W. Dean.
  Corvus americanus.- From one to four birds visited the
garden every two or three days through the month alighting
either on the apple trees or lindens. They have become so
tame during the last two or three years that I am often
able to walk or stand directly beneath them when they
are perched in the tops of upper branches of the trees.
  I also saw a few Crows about Fresh Pond during each
of my visits this month and on several occasions they allowed
me to drive past them within fifteen or twenty yards.
  Cyanocitta cristata.- Two seen in the garden on the 11th. & one
heard on the 21st. W.Dean. I saw three together in Payson Park 
on the 30th.
  Dryobotus p. medianus.- Two birds seen together in the garden on
the 8th. & 22nd., a single bird on the 19th. & 20th.
