Sialia sialis. Early in the past winter four Bluebirds were observed in 

 the town of Westfield, and they have since been seen in the same locality 

 ; in this town many times during the months of January and February. 

 The region adopted by these birds as their winter home was near a trolly 

 hne and the passengers in the cars were often entertained by seeing these 

 unusual winter visitors. This is the first authenticated instance of Blue- 

 birds wintering in the Connecticut Valley as far north as Springfield.
