The Meadowlark (, Sturnella magna) at Rangeley, Maine. — Although 
the Meadowlark has been found at several localities in northern New 
England the capture of a male at Rangeley, Maine, April 21, 1897, by 
Mr. Ernest L. Haley, is perhaps worth recording. The specimen, which 
is in high spring plumage, has been recently purchased for me by Mr. 
M. Abbott Frazar, to whom I am also indebted for the above data. —

The Meadowlark comes regularly, though in small numbers. The pre- 
sent year, 1902, they have sung constantly in the field back of my home.

The Wintering of Meadowlarks at Pine Point, Maine . — Referring to Mr. 
Arthur H. Norton’s notice 1 of the wintering of Meadowlarks ( Sturnella 
magna ) at Pine Point, it should be said that I have seen these birds there 
almost daily throughout the past three winters. Making their home in 
the thick woods near by, they obtained their food from the marsh. During 
the winter of 1907-08 a flock of eight stayed in the vicinity of the rail- 
road station, being frequently seen on the adjacent marshes. The next 
winter the flock was increased to about twelve or fourteen birds. I saw 
them nearly every day all through the winter. In very cold weather, 
when the grasses and weeds of the marsh were buried beneath the snow, 
they would venture up to the railway station and pick up grain which had 
fallen from the freight cars. That they enjoyed their winter stay at 
Pine Point seems evident, for the past winter a flock of thirty-five or forty 
birds spent the cold months with us. In February, when the marsh was 
deeply covered with snow, I frequently walked out near the river, scraped 
off snow from small patches of grass and fed the larks with grain — cracked 
corn, oats and barley. They evidently relished this, for it was eagerly 
devoured. On warm days in January and February they often alighted 
on the telegraph wires and sang. One could scarcely realize then that it 
was midwinter. — Fred, S. Walker, Pine Point , Maine.
