Notes on the Different Birds ,

Middle toe 18. Hind toe 16. Not many noticed, but notwith¬ 
standing it may well be a regular visitor at Shiocton. Calca- 
rius pietus (Swains.) is seen in winter in Wisconsin (King). 
111. Poocsetes grammeus (G-mel.). xx M. of 6. L. 154-160. 
E. 258-270. W. 77-81. T. 56-68. A common field bird in 
summer. In 1882, not noticed before April 14. Most on the 
20th. In autumn, most numerous about September 18, but 
many still October 7. Hardly seen after the 9th. In 1883, a 
single one shot April 9. More the 13th. Most on the 21st. 
112. Ammodramus sandwichensis savanna (Wils.). XX 
M. of 11. L. 129-148. E. 213-229. W. 64-72. T. 47-54. B. 
9-11. In 1882 not noticed before May 10. May have been 
on hand before. Found many on that and the following day. 
Most on the 11th and 23d. In autumn most numerous on Sep¬ 
tember 18th. The last perhaps, October 7. In 1883 I shot a 
male April 26, that was sitting on a stump in a grass field, 
singign. None seen again before May 9, when a single one 
was noticed. Most 18th to 26th. Nests in the edges of large 
swamps and on Shioc Meadows where the grass has been cut the 
previous year. During the incubation season the male is fond 
of sitting and singing on fences. King appears not to know of 
this bird’s breeding in Wisconsin. At Shiocton it is common. 
A. savannarum passerinus (Wils.) is not uncommon in certain 
localities in Wisconsin (Hoy). A. caudacutus nelsoni Allen was 
shot in Jefferson county (King). 
Chondestes grammacus (Say). Is found in many places in 
Wisconsin, as in Brown county (Willard), but not at Shiocton. 
113. Zonotricliia leucoplirys (Forst.). xxx M. of $. L. 
176. E. 248. W. 81. T, 75. Two males May 13, 1882. Very 
abundant in autumn. Flocks September 28 to October 18. In 
1883 three at the slaughter-house May 12, in company with 
the following species. Afterwards many. The last, May 19. 
114. Zonotricliia albicollis (G-mel.). xx M. $ (3) L. 164- 
173. E. 226-235. W. 72-77. T. 75. $ (2) L. 168-169. E. 
235-239. W. 72-75. T. 72-75. King thinks that this bird 
does not breed north of Angelica in Shawano County, 18 miles 
north of Shiocton. A few, however, probably breed every year 
in the Daily Beat. In 1882 I could only say surely that they
