A Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) in Lexington, Mass., in Winter and 



Summer. — A Mockingbird appeared near my house in Lexington on the 

 8th of February, 1907, and was seen by me at intervals up to the 29th of 

 March. On the 31st of March and the 4th of April a Mockingbird, doubt- 

 less the same one, was seen by several persons in another part of the town, 

 about a mile to the eastward. He was neither seen nor heard again until 

 the 9th and 10th of July, when he reappeared near my house. This bird 

 sung at the end of March, early April, and on both the days when he was 

 seen in July. He was an unusually fine singer, even for a Mockingbird. 

 Among his very perfect imitations the notes of the Phoebe and Great 

 Crested Flycatcher were conspicuous. The winter of 1906-07, it should 

 be remembered, was an unusually cold one in eastern Massachusetts. —
