74. Sternella magna. - Ten Meadow Larks seen in a field
near the Concord Hospital on August 29 [August 29, 1913], several
observed in the meadow just above Red Bridge on
September 25 [September 25, 1913] and a solitary bird flashed in Mr. Howe's
field on October 12 [October 12, 1913] were all I happened to note.

75. Icterus galbula. - In the early mornings on August 27 [August 27, 1913] & 28 [August 28, 1913]
an adult [male] Oriole sang freely & well in the trees
that shade Colonial Inn where I was staying at
the time. At the Farm I heard what was doubtless
a young [male] singing feebly on August 30 [August 30, 1913] and saw
two birds together, in oaks behind the barn, on September 5 [September 5, 1913].

76. Scolecophagus carolinus. - Decidedly less numerous than usual
- as was also the case last spring. At the Farm I 
saw or heard four birds on October 1 [October 1, 1913], one on the 3rd [October 3, 1913],
5th [October 5, 1913] & 6th [October 6, 1913], two on the 8th [October 8, 1913] (eating sweet corn from the ear),

three on November 5 [November 5, 1913] and eleven (together) on the 6th [November 6, 1913].
Upwards of 25 were observed in a single
flock on Nashawtuck Hill (Golf Links) by H. W. Henshaw [Henry Wetherbee Henshaw]
and S. O. Dexter [Smith Owen Dexter], on October 17 [October 17, 1913]. 

77. Quiscalus q. aeneus [Quiscalus quiscalus aeneus]. - Passing flocks of south-bound migrants
were noted at the Farm on the following dates & hours: -
One of 45 birds (counted) flying low S. [south] at 7 A.M.
on September 30 [September 30, 1913]; another of 600+ (estimated) rising
with a roar of wings & intermingling voices from Lawrence's
corn field before going off S.W. [southwest] at 11 A.M. on October 19 [October 19, 1913];
a third of 25 birds (estimated) in our elms in the early
morning of October 20 [October 20, 1913]; a fourth of 150 + (estimated)
