IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. 
I have secured five Evening Grosbeaks (lie. s- 
periphona vespertina ) on January (>, and four 
January 9, one a very line male, two that we 
were able to determine as females, and two 
with female plumage, but I could not make 
out the sex. 
This is evidently a rare occurrence and I 
thought it might be of interest to you. There 
were four or five more in the flock that were 
ton Jamea P. Melzer.

The Evening’ Grosbeak in New Hampshire. — We have with us here 
at this date (Jan. 2, 1911) a flock of eight Evening Grosbeaks. They have 
been here for a month, and have been seen every day on one of our back 
streets on a small ornamental tree which is covered with seeds on which 
t hey feed. I hey seem to make their headquarters in some pines near by. 
They come out to feed two or three times a day. 
1 hey are very handsome and quite uniformly colored though there is a 
slight difference in shades. They are very tame and will not notice any- 
one that may be within a few feet of them and they have had many visitors 
as they are quite a curiosity in this vicinity as they are in any part of New 
England. — C. H. Storrs, Lebanon , N. H.
