The Singing of Birds. E.P.Bicknell. 
Zamelodia ludoviciana. Rose-breasted Grosbeak. 
The few Rose-breasted Grosbeaks which summer in the sec 
tion of country covered by my observations sing well into the 
dog-days. I have heard them till the middle of August. 
In the autumn the adult male seems to be uncommon, and I 
have never heard its song at that season ; but on September 23, 
1879, I shot a young male with crimsoning breast, which was in 
full song. Auk, 2, April} 18S&. p. / £) / .
