5. Ampelis cedrorum
  A flock of 14 appeared on the 21st and spent some
time feeding on the berries of the Highbush Cranberry (Vibur-
num opulus).
6. Passer domesticus.
  English Sparrows have been present through the month but
their numbers have been very irregular. For some days in
succession none were seen at all, and then a flock of 20 or
30 would appear and fly about the garden feeding as usual.
7. Dryobates pubescens medianus.
  Two were seen occasionally by Mrs. Brewster, feeding on
the suet over the driveway.
8. Corvus americanus.
  Occasionally a Crow flew over the garden or alighted in
one of the lindens.
9. Colaptes auratus luteus.  On December, 1, 4, 5, 17, 18 we saw a Flicker. On the
5th and 18th one was feeding on Parkman's apples.
