Uncommon Birds at Hatley, Stanstead County, Quebec. — It 
may be interesting to record the fact of having found the Red-headed 
Woodpecker ( Melanerpes erythrocephalun ) breeding here this summer, the 
nest being in a dead maple tree at the roadside about fifteen feet above the 
ground, and when found on July 16, containing four young birds which left 
the nest between July 31 and August 4. During the same month, and 
whilst on my way to visit the above nest I came across an example of the 
Turkey Vulture ( Cathartes aura septentrionalis ) on July 31, which I was 
enabled to follow about in a large wood for some considerable time and ■ 
thoroughly identify. Two months later, or on September 24, whilst hunt- 
ing in “the marsh” I was fortunate enough to secure a fine example 
of the Green Heron ( Butorides virescens virescens ) and shortly after 
whilst visiting a farmer in the district I was shown a mounted example of 
the Black-crowned Night Heron ( Nycticorax nycticorax ncEvius ) which 
he had shot some eight years ago at Fitch Bay about twelve miles from 
Hatley. At another house I was shown a mounted male example of the 
Arctic Three-toed Woodpecker ( Picoides arcticus ) which was shot about 
two years ago in the fall near Massawippi, all these five birds being new 
to my list. — H. Mousley, Hatley, Que.
