This noon some evening grosbeaks were 
feeding in the next block. A single 
pine grosbeak was with them but did not 
seem at home. When 1 approached it 
flew away. They had just finished 
a meal on their favorite food, box- 
elder seeds. There were about 15 in 
all, with more males than females. They 
sat in the sun chattering to each other. 
The notes were a clear terp and a roll¬ 
ing tr-r-r-r given harshly."' Also a 
lower note a compound of both given in 
concert like those of the English 
sparrow. One sat in a crotch eating 
snow. In a short time the whole flock 
flew av/ay.

Crouchs Quarry in Baraboo 4:45 p.m. 
Tonight after school I was up above the 
stone quarry, near the water works dam. 
I was going along when a bluejay flew 
out of a clump of oak leaves about 10 
feet away. It was an hour to sundown 
yet. This is a warm protected place and 
seems to be a favorite with many species.

ed loudly, immediately a flock of 12 bob- 
whites rose up 8 rods away near the crest 
of the hill and flew They were roost¬ 
ing there. It was early yet but the hill 
was in shadows. The hill was covered with 
rank grass.
