Probable Breeding of the White-throated Sparrow in Connecticut. — 
On June 26, 1906, while tramping through a spruce swamp near Bantam 
Lake, Litchfield, Conn., I was surprised to hear the song of the white- 
throated Sparrow ( Zonotrichia albicollis). I soon found and secured the 
bird, a male. The date and the fact that the testes were much enlarged 
makes it almost certain that this bird was breeding there, and if so, the 
first breeding record for Connecticut. I searched for sometime in hopes 
of finding his mate and clinching the record, but that I did not find her 
was not surprising considering the denseness of the thickets of spruce and 
larch. — E. Seymoto^oo^pef., £r_, Litch^d^Qonn. ^ f

Zonotrichia albicollis. White-throated Sparrow. — Two flocks of 
twenty-five birds or more in each were seen in some weedy fields at Darien 
on November 30, 1917. The latest record given in Bishop and Sage’s ‘Birds 
of Connecticut’ for fall migration was November 28, 1885. A male was 
taken to verify the field identification, and in view of the rather unusually 
cold fall, this very late record seems interesting.
