1397. 

 April. 



W.Bartlett tells me that Canada Huthatciies wintered com- 

 monly near Concord. I left three or four oirds in the Ball's 

 Hill region last Hovem-ber, and foimd them there on my retva-n 

 this spring. They have remained throtigh April (I saw three 

 Apr. 25th and one Apr. 30th) haunting chiefly Benson's pine 

 ridge and Davis's Hill. On several occasions one of them has 

 visited the cabin to feed on some mutton fat which I hung up 

 in the oak in front of my door to attract the ChicXadees and 



Downy Woodpcclcers. ^
