The Scarlet Tanagers (at Ball's Hill this morning) were

an old female accompanied by her two young which, although in 
full autumn plumage, followed their mother about closely and 
begged continually for food uttering a monotonous hue., very 
like the call of a young Purple Pinch, and a low, wheezy sound 
which was so nearly like that made by some your)g Red-eyed 
Vireos that I had just been watching that I could detect no 
difference. When approached by their mother the young Tana- 
gers wduld squat down on their perches and quiver their half- 
opened wings. I did not see her feed them.

Highland Street. I sa w a female or juv. male in the garden,
