Spinus pinus.
Bethel, Maine.
1907,
July 22.
  The village of Bethel has been swarming of late with
Pine Linnets. I see or hear them constantly, whenever I stroll
down the street that leads to the post office, usually in the tops
of the elms and sugar maples. To-day I found two feeding on the
ground under an elm. Both were adults and I think a pair. They
were eating seeds but of what I could not determine although I
think they were the fallen seeds of the elm. Most of the birds I
see are in small flocks. As a rule they give only the chattering 
flight calls, but once to-day I heard the shorter form of song
which may be closely rendered thus: Swee-e-e-e-e given with a
rising inflection.
