Anthu s 'pensilvanlcus . 



Concord, Ilass. Perchixie^ in the branches of an elm. 



1899. Titlarks were decidodly less numerous than usual ov/ing, 



Oct. 12 no doubt, to the fact that tht; river ineado7/s were oy far too 

 to 



Oct.Kl. dry to afford thoni suitable feeding or roosting grounds. On 

 the 17tli X saw five birds perching aiaong the branches of a 

 small leafless elm in com-pany with a number of Savanna Spar- 

 rows, The tree stands on the river bank (at "Hunt's Pond) and 

 I passed in my canoe 'within a few yards of it getting a posi- 

 tively certain identification of the Titlarks. Tliey sat 

 rather erect and appeared quite at their ease although they 

 did not wag their tails or walk along the branches. I do not 

 recall ever seeing this species alight in a tree before al- 

 though I have known it to do so on a fence or the roof of a 

 low building.
