Icterus malbula . 
Concord, Mass. 
1893. I have not heard an Oriole sing since the 7th out the 
July 17. birds are about the house (the Buttrich's) in the elms and 
orchard at all hours. I see them usually in little family 
parties composed of the -old female and her young which are 
now fully grown and strong on wing but still addicted to ut- 
tering the monotonous here -we -are call. The old males are 
seldom with their families and I see little df them.
