Notes on Birds of Winchendon, Mass. 
William Brewster, 
Loxia curvirostra minor. — A single pair seen in spruce woods June 13, 
1888, and the male shot. His testes were of large, but not maximum size. 
Mr. Bailey tells me that this Crossbill is numerous every winter, but he 
has never seen it in summer before. Its occurrence at the latter season 
does not prove, of course, that it breeds about Winchendon, although it 
would be by no means surprising if a few pairs were found to nest there.

26. Loxia curvirostra minor. American Red Crossbill. — On the 
14th of July, in the ‘saddle’ or depression between Graylock and Bald 
Mt., a small flock of Red Crossbills flew by but a short distance above my 
head. I saw them again near the same spot on the following day. Ap- 
proximate altitude, 3000 feet.
