of Dr. F. B. Hollenbeck at 1836 South 20th Street. This or another Mock- 
ingbird wintered at the same place from October, 1920, to April, 1921. 
This is the first definite wintering record of the species for this locality. 
A Townsend Solitaire, also, is wintering at Lincoln, in Wyuka ceme- 
tery.

SOME BIRD NOTES FROM CENTRAL AND WESTERN NEBRASKA 
Since the publication of the records of the Whooping Crane in Ne- 
braska by M. H. Swenk, in the March, 1921, number of the Wilson Bulle- 
tin, I saw a pair of these birds on April 2, 1921, and a lone one a few 
days later. One bird was also seen in the fall of 1921, about October 20. 
On May 18, 1921, a fine male Cape May Warbler was collected at 
Kearney, Buffalo county, which is the westernmost record for the species 
in the state. 
In August, 1921, two Broad-tailed Hummingbirds were killed by fly- 
ing against a plate glass show window on the principal street of Kearney 
during the night. Probably there was a migration through the locality 
and the birds were deceived by the glare of the electric lights. 
My friend, Miles Maryott of Oshkosh, Garden county, reports to me 
that a Saw-whet Owl was chased out of a coal house and knocked off a 
post with a lump of coal by a resident of that place in the fall of 1921, 
constituting a new locality record for the species. He also reports the 
Gray-crowned Rosy Finch as present at Oshkosh on January 22, 1922.

WINTER BIRDS OF SOUTHERN WISCONSIN 
The winter of 1920-21, noted for its mildness, noticeably affected 
the bird life of that period. There was a great scarcity of northern vis- 
itors and an increase in the number of summer residents, which remained 
through the winter. The bird list is of interest because it is rather un 
usual. It was compiled from the December, January and February rec- 
ords of the writer and the following observers: Warner Taylor, Clarence S. 
Jung and A. W. Schorger, Madison; Herbert L. Stoddard, Milwaukee; 
W. E. Snyder, Beaver Dam; Ed. Oschner, Prairie du Sac; Miss Lulu M. 
Lunn, Racine; Miss Susie L. Simonds, Hartland; Arthur Gare, Camp 
Douglas; H. E. Andrews, Portage.
