The Loggerhead Shrike again in Massachusetts. — On January 29, 
1884, Mr. Eastman of this place observed two Shrikes by the roadside very 
near the centre of this village, apparently contending for the possession 
of a small bird. One left as he approached, the other he secured, and it 
proved to be a typical Lanius ludovicianus , male, in clear, bright plumage. 
The prey was an English Sparrow. (Too bad to kill a bird engaged in 
that business ! ) Perhaps these birds were members of one of the colonies 
so lately discovered breeding to the north of us, as set forth in Bull. Nutt. 
Club, 1879, by Brewer (p. 119), and Purdie (p. 1S6), and exhaustively 
by the former in Proc. Boston N. H. Soc. , 1879, P- 22 6. — F. C. Browne, 
Framingham , Mass. Auk, I, July, 1884. p.
