Notes on Lincoln 1 8 Finch . 
k 
I have seen at leapt, si* different Lincoln*a finches 
here this month, three on the 13th, to or; the 15th and 
19th and one dally it> the --amtpplace, directly in front 
of the cabin from the 15th to the 3£n& Inclusive. Cl©, 
an exceedingly shy bird, was by the roadside In the bushy 
* 
hollow Just above r 'ensen*s where It sleuthed along the buck 
side of stone trail and finally disappeared In r. thicket. 
Another was on the ground asiono; birches on the 
edge-of the Blskeman woods In company with a fhite-throatsd 
Sparrow, ’omsthl-ir within the wood-©doe alarmed the two. 
The Lincoln *3 FI ich flew directly towards me and alighted 
in a smal\ birch where it sat for some time, preening its 
fsothers within tea yards of me. 'hen I finally moved 
towards it, it flew into the top of • dense pine that 
stands alone l x the pasture near the road*thr ugh .ic-isen*© y: 
field. 
Both these birds were client, but •. third, which 
I found earlier the same morning in the sw&apy thicket 
east of the cabin and • which spent 'the entire dty. there, 
el.:. , six or eight tines a*, abort 0 A, riving the Rous© 
'..Ten form of song each time. It'is possible that this 
Ird was the sane which established Itself directly in 
front of the dabin on the 18th and re alaed there until 
the forenoon of the 22nd, but if so X f iled to detect its 
on the 14th, si%h® u I looked for it carefully.
