Unusual Dates for some Birds at New Haven, Conn. — White-throated 
Sparrows have been present in large numbers in Edgewood Park up to 
date (Jan. 2, 1909). Five Rusty Blackbirds have been in the same Park 
since December 26. I saw a Fox Sparrow on Dec. 22 and two of them 
on Jan. 2. On Dec. 22, near Lighthouse Point I saw two Red-winged 
Blackbirds and about twenty-five White-winged Crossbills. The date 
cannot be called unusual for the Crossbills, but they are rare here. On 
Dec. 26 and 28, I saw a male Towhee in Edgewood Park. On Dec. 21, at 
Mitchells Hill, I saw a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, and on Dec. 25, at 
Saltonstall Ridge, I saw four Red-breasted Nuthatches. Robins knd 
Bluebirds have been seen occasionally, and on Dec. 25 Mr. A. W. Hony- 
will, Jr., saw a Hermit Thrush at Mitchell’s Hill. On the next day Mr. 
Honywill and I saw the thrush at the same place. These birds were all 
positively identified although none of them were taken.— Clifford H.
