19 . Loxia curvirostra minor. American Crossbill. — I did not see 
this species until March when it became common. At that time the 
males were in full song, and the birds were paired, male and female 
always being seen together. If in flocks an equal number of each sex 
was present. The males of this and the following species sing well. Both 
sang much on fluttering, tremulous wings high above the tops of the 
spruces. I judged both species would nest in April. I was informed by 
Messrs. Christie that Crossbills were common about their camp all 
winter. Auk, XVI, July, 1899, p. LSI-

39. Loxia curvirostra minor. American Crossbill. — Many large 
flocks met with. While walking up the railroad from Cobalt one day, 
a large flock alighted on the trees about us. They showed absolutely no 
fear, one bird attempting to alight on the end of a canoe paddle which I 
was carrying over my shoulder, and on the same occasion several flew by 
within two or three feet of us. 
191. Loxia curvirostra minor. American Crossbill. — Irregular 
winter resident, sometimes abundant, December 25 to May 3. In 1892' 
crossbills were here from March 30 to May 5, and I took one on July 17, 
and saw another on the 18th, these latter were attracted by caged birds; 
a male taken April 14, 1894, is in juvenile plumage.
