* Nov. 21. 21st of October. After the latter date I seldom saw more 
than three or four in a day except on the 24th November when 
I found a flock of seven in the belt of white maples along 
the river bank just above the Holt. At first I took these 
birds to be migrants but when they finally scattered and flew

off into the woods in twos and threes in different directions 
I concluded that they were our local birds which something 
had attracted to this spot from more or less distant haunts.
