120 Grundtvig—On the Birds of Shiocton, Wisconsin. 
14. In 1882 a small company was seen May 5. Afterwards non<* 
before the 8th, but thereafter in increasing numbers, but not in 
flocks. Most about May 11 and 12. The last probably seen Sept. 
16. In 1883 several May 7. The next day everywhere. Most 
from 14th to 16th. E. acadicus (Gmel.) is supposed to belong to 
Wisconsin; but whether this is the case is not certain (King). 
E. pusillus traillii (Aud.) is found undoubtedly and breeds 
probably in Wisconsin (C. L.). King met with a single one at 
Waupaca in the beginning of July. Probably found at Shioc¬ 
ton, although I could not refer any of the flycatchers shot by 
me to this species. 
88. Otocoris alpestris (Linn.). XXX In 1882 the first was 
seen February 11. Afterwards almost daily till March 29. 
Hardly seen after April 3, and not observed in the autumn. 
In 1883 a single one seen, February 21 and 23. A few the 
28th. Afterwards none before March 7. Several from March 
14 to April 8. 
(89.) Otocoris alpestris praticola Hensh. It is this 
form that breeds in Wisconsin (C. L.), not as King supposes 
0. alpestris leucolcema (Coues). Nest was found in 1882 at He 
Pere (Willard). Breeds probably also at Shiocton. Thought I 
heard this bird several times in the fields east of the house, as 
for instance May 18 and 23, 1882. 
Pica pica hudsonica (Sab.) is said to be a winter visitor in 
Wisconsin (Hoy), but was not seen at Shiocton. 
90. Cyanocitta cristata (Linn.). X Most numerous in winter, 
when it is oftenest seen in small companies, but not more than 
five or six together. Breeds around in the woods. June 9, 
1882, I saw newly fledged young. Perisoreus canadensis (Linn. ) 
is, at any rate in winter, common in Wisconsin in large pine 
woods. Found occasionally at Shiocton. 
91. Coi’VUS corax sinuatus (Wagl.). Gunners say that this 
bird was formerly very common at Shiocton. It is now cer¬ 
tainly rare. A single one was shot near Wolf River, October, 
1882. 
92. Corvus americaims Aud. XX Only a few nest in the 
Daily Beat, hardly more than a dozen pairs. The most are 
seen in migration time. According to King, one would believe
