4. The Crow Blackbird. This bird is a rare 
winter resident in southern Massachusetts. A 
probable solitary individual wintered in the 
game preserve on Nauslion Island, and was | 
» observed by Mr. Chisholm about the barns on 
several occasions, notably, on January 14tli 
and 28th, and on February 11th and 27tli, 
During the previous winter, a Blackbird 
remained about Wood’s IIoll and was easily 
indentified by its peculiar flight which was not 
in a straight course, but diagonally to the 
right, from the direction in which he was head 
ing. The Nauslion bird w’as, however, appar_ 
eiitly uncrippled, and was considered to have 
remained over from choice.
