Six, only one in red plumage feeding among the ce¬ 
dars in Watertown. My attention was attracted to them

A single pair in Watertown. 
A flock of at least thirty among the cedars in Wa- 
I think they must have recently come there

ors. The males wore singing in that soft undertone 
peculiar to this season.
