to be. breeding there. I heard the characteristic rattle of one as I 
sat in an electric car in Framingham, near the Normal School. As I 
ther. Quite a number of the girls at the school are very good od- 
servers, but none of them had seen the woodpecker, nor didd I see or 
hear it afterwards, Another pair of Red-heads were reported to me by 
a teacher from Watertown, as oecuring near the Charles River. 
You will be interested to learn that I saw a pair of Phil, 
adelphia Vireos at Way land on June 1 this year. The birds were 
feeding in low bushes by the road- side, anck.a s they were not wild , 
I easily got within a few feet of them. One, presumedly the male, 
was uttering a low raij|iri<ring note , similar to that I heard the) 1 ^ ns 
give that \ I saw last year. 
I trust that Mr Brewster and you will pardon the delay in 
not answering sooner, but this is the first day that I have not had 
a class or piivate lessons for two months. I shall try and get down 
to Cambridge in July. 
Very truly yours,
