Feeding Habits of the Pine Siskin. — Mrs. W. C. Horton, president 
of the Brattleboro, Vt., Bird Club (a branch of the American Society of 
Bird Restorers), and a member of this Society’s patrol, reports that on 
April 14 of this year, Pine Siskins \Spinus pinus') were observed feeding 
on the seeds of cones in a pine grove near her Brattleboro home. Two 
young Siskins were also noted, apparently just out of the nest. These 
youngsters were assiduously fed by at least one of the parents, but with 
■what was not clear. Several feedings occurred and between them the 
parent procured no visible supply of food. To the observers it seemed 
highly probable that the feeding was done by regurgitation. — Fletcher

37. Spmus pinus. Pine Siskin. — Three or four observed in the 
small spruces near the summit of the mountain. They were quite 
unsuspicious, allowing me to approach within a few feet of them.
