Editor 0. cfc O.: 
During the fall of 1889 I added the follow- 
ing birds to my collection which are not 
very common in this locality. 
Oct. 2d. Goshawk. young, $>. 
Oct. 9th. Sparrow Hawk, adult $. 
Oct. 18th. Pigeon Hawk, adult $ . 
Oct. 12tli. White-crowned Sparrow, $?. 
Nov. 17th. Shot two Saw-wliet Owls 
(males). 
On October 14th I shot a White-throat Spar- 
row, of which the breast, head and down 
to the middle of the back are pure white; 
the wings, rest of the hack and tail are of the 
usual color. 
While walking in the woods to-day we 
flushed a Woodcock, although the swamps 
have not been frozen until the past week I 
think the bird’s wintering is rare.
