Bird News from Central New York. — In the three years which have 
elapsed since my last communication to ‘The Auk’ I have been able to 
add three new species to our list of Oneida County Birds, which with 
Icteria virens , recorded by Mr. W. J. B. Williams on page 331 of Vol. XV, 
bring the total for our vicinity up to 247. These three are: 
Numenius hudsonicus. IIudsonian Curlew. — A specimen of this 
bird, sex unknown, was shot on Verona Beach, Oneida Lake, by Egbert 
Bagg, Jr., Sept. 5, 1899.

Hudsonian Curlew on Long Island in Winter. — On the evening of 
December 24, 1912, during a heavy snow and wind storm, a Hudsonian 
Curlew ( Numenius hudsonicus) was found in an exhausted condition in 
the backyard of an apartment house at Rockawav Beach, Long Island. 
After spending the night in a basket it recovered sufficiently to fly away at 
seven-thirty o’clock the following morning. The owner of the house who 
discovered the bird would not allow it to be taken but it was identified 
beyond question. 
I have not been able to find any previous record of the occurrence of 
Numenius hudsonicus at this time of the year on Long Island. — Char- 
lotte Bogardtjs, Coxsackie, New York. Auk 30, April, 1913, p, 'Ll a ,
