Eaton, An Epidemic of Roup in the Crow Roost. 
57 
During most of July and August I was away, and on my return 
there were two sets of young birds, but as they were growing more 
timid and never appeared altogether, I cannot tell their number. 
On the whole the year’s nests have been more successful than is 
usual for the Cardinal Grosbeak, and we fondly hope that they 
will seek the shelter of our roof again next year.
