A Mockingbird in New Hampshire.— A Mockingbird {Mimus poly- 

 glottos) appeared near my home on the outskirts of Manchester, N. H., 

 November 5, 1916, apparently accompanying a flock of Robins; and stayed 

 in the neighborhood two days. It was seen by Mr. Lewis Dexter, and by a 

 number of other bird lovers whom I was able to notify. It did not act 

 like an escaped cage bird, as it did not care to have me approach closer 

 than thirty or forty feet, although we could not rule out the possibility. 



I have not seen a caged Mockingbird in this region for years. 



Allen's ' List of the Birds of New Hampshire ' mentions one record for 

 New Hampshire and that is the only one I have been able to find.—
