45. Iianius borealis, Vieillot. Great Northern Shrike. — Toler- 
ably common during the fall, winter, and spring. Not known to breed,

Winter Notes from Stephentown, N.Y* 
Ben j amin Hoag. 
We have only a small flock of English 
Sparrows in the village this winter. The 
Gieat Northern Shrikes nearly extermin- 
ated them here last winter. Speaking of 
Shrikes, reminds me that I haven’t seen a 
single specimen of borealis this winter.
