The Canada Jay in Southern Vermont in Summer. — While camping 
out last summer in Somerset, Vermont, I obtained a fine specimen of the 
Canada Jay ( Perisoreus canadensis). The place was about 30 miles from 
the Massachusetts State line, in thick evergreen woods. It was on the 
morning of August 5, about 6 A. M., when I observed a pair of strange 
birds near the tent. I stepped back and got my gun, when the birds flew 
a short distance. I fired and brought down one of them, and on picking it 
up saw it was of this species. I have been unable to obtain the exact 
altitude of the place, but it was about 1500 feet. The latitude is about 43 0 
north. Is not this very far south for this bird in summer? — Hubert L
