Near Wareham, Mass.
1900.
June 12-14
(No 10)
  24. Piranga erythomelas. - On the day of my arrival (June 11th)
Mr Bangs saw a male Tanager in oak woods near his house.
This, if I remember rightly, he told me was only the
second that he had ever met with in Plymouth County;
but on the 14th we heard two males singing one about
a mile to the northward of Wareham village, the other
a mile or two further on in the same direction. 
it is singular that they do not occur more commonly
for the extensive oak woods seem admirably suited
to their requirements.
  25. Carpodacus purpureus. - Apparently much less numerous
than I found it in 1894. At least on the present
occasion I heard only one bird at the Reservoir &
perhaps two more in the villages. 
  26. Spinus tristis. - Common but not numerous.
  27. Poecetes gramineus. - Only one bird noted. In 1894
they were abundant all over the open country as well
as among thinly-growing pitch pines on burnt lands.
  [Passerculus savanna. - Mr. Bangs find a few pairs
breeding near the shores of the bay not far from his place.
I did not meet with the species either this year or
in 1894]
  28. Spizella socialis. - Very common not only about houses
& villages but in open pitch pine woods on burnt lands.
 [Spizella pusilla. - Met with I think in 1894. Not seen this year]
