wore apparently about to breed. The young -ore mot 
with xn parties a If si:: or eight, frequently accompanied

the thickest spruces and firs, usually near the tops of 
the trees. In motion they res led P, atricapillus but 
wore rather loss animated and active. They wore ordinar* 
ly silent and hard to find. What I took to bo the song 
othe male was a sharp cho-day , (lav very cliff rent from 
any note of the Common Chi c kade< ) .Jr The ordinary chirp 
of the two species is similar.

garden.
