FISH CROW. 
more recent records, on the other hand, I think establish it as a winter 
resident wherever it is found in the summer. 
In the Bulletin of the Nuttall Ornithological Club, Vol. I, page 19, 
Mr. William Brewster reports having seen, March 16, 1875, a Fish 
Crow at Cambridge, Mass. 
In the same, Vol. Ill, page 13 1, Mr Eugene P. Bicknell, in his 
article on “ Evidences of the Carolinian Fauna in the Lower Hudson 
Valley,” records a pair observed at Riverdale, New York city, on 
February 24, and after. [*] 
In the same, Vol. IV, page 82, Prof. W. E. D. Scott, of Princeton 
College, in his “ Late Fall and Winter Notes on some Birds observed 
in the vicinity of Princeton, N. J., 1878-79" says : “ On January 21 
I took a Fish Crow ( Cor v us ossifragus ), and another on the following 
day, and saw many others dying about with the common species.” 
He says further : “ The preceding notes are not particularly remark- 
able except in the case of the Hermit Thrush and Fox Sparrow, 
both of which are, to say the least, very rare during so severe a 
season." Mr. Scott had been speaking of a number of birds and 
among others the Fish Crow, and the inference is very marked that 
he did not consider it (the Fish Crow) in the least a rare bird in win- 
ter, even though the winter was an exceptionally severe one. 
In the same, Vol. V, page 2o5, Mr. Louis A. Zerega, in his 
“ Notes on the Northern Range of the Fish Crow,” says : “ Mr. 
Theodore Roosevelt shot a male at Oyster Bay, Long Island, on 
December 30, 1874.” .... “On the 17th of March, 1880, Mr. 
Keeler ‘wingecF a Fish Crow.” In speaking of the semi-diurnal 
movements from the sleeping place in the woods to the feeding 
ground along the shores he says : “ These flights do not occur during 
[* Although it is not improbable that the Fish Crow may remain during winter in the Lower Hud- 
son Valley, it is proper here to state that it has not actually been found at that season earlier than 
the time above indicated. 
In this connection reference should not be omitted to Dr. E. A. Mearns’ remarks on the Fish 
Crow, bringing its history as a bird of New York State up to a recent date. — See Bull. Essex In- 
stitute, Vol. XII, pp. 110-112. — Eds.]
