Occurrence of the Turkey Buzzard 
in Massachusetts. 
A Turkey Buzzard (GatJiartes aura), was sliot 
by a boy at Annisquam, Mass., on September 
14th. and brought into the Seaside Labratory of 
the Boston Society of Natural History, situated 
at that place. The bird was fully identified by 
Mr. T. H. Morgan, of Lexington, Ky., who is in- 
terested in the study of ornithology, and per- 
fectly familiar with the buzzards in all plumages. 
On account of the lack of time and not being 
aware of the rarity of the bird in Massachusetts, 
the specimen was not preserved, but Mr. Morgan 
considered the specimen to be in young plumage. 
I will also record the Indigo Bunting as being 
found in the same locality, as, on several occa- 
sions I saw a pair -which occupied a thicket near 
the roadside during June and July. — II. Q.
