birds, for we saw at least two or three hundred during 
our drive. They were in every grass field and pasture, 
stalking sedately about precisely in the manner of Quiscalus 
aeneus and every grove of trees was alive with them. I 
was much interested in their notes, for they seem to have 
copied some of them from Agelaeus . At least the call note 
( cac ) and the cry of alarm ( peer ) are curiously like those 
of our Red-wing. In addition, they utter a series of four 
notes which may be rendered as see-quick-come-here , given 
in high, wiry, squeaky tones with a slight rising inflexion 
at the end. 
There was a beautiful Yellow Warbler — large, with 
the whole crown rich seal brown but otherwise like 
Dendroica aestiva in color and markings. The females lacked 
the brown cap and were generally duller than the males. 
I also saw a pair of Yellow Warblers which I took to be 
true aestiva . I had both male and female under my glass 
at short range and in a good light. 
We saw only two Hummingbirds, one of which seemed 
to be Eulampis ingularis,. 
Everywhere that we went but especially in the town 
we saw great numbers of Pyrrhulagra . It is of 
about the size and shape of an English Sparrow and colored 
very nearly like the female of that species, save that the 
under tail courts are dull brick red. It takes the place 
of the House Sparrow here and is singularly like that bird
