This morning Art Hudy and were up on the 
hill north of KapeIke’s when I saw a 
large bird come up from the ground and 
light in a tree. It gave a queer loud 
exaggerated note like the per—chic—o~ree 
of the goldfinch. 4 others came up and 
joined it and a larger flock flew up out 
of the undergrowth. There were about 25 
in all. They were pine grosbeaks. They 
v/ere rather wild and when we tried to 
approach closely flew away. V.'e went 
down where they had been feeding and soon 
they were back again lighting in the 
trees.near us and showing no fear while 
we kept still. It was a rather dark day 
and I could not see the colors. They 
had another loud spirited whistled 
note like he hur . 
December 2^, 1901. 
This morning i found where 
the evening grosbeaks had 
eaten the box elder seeds. 
They bit off the upper end 
as in the drav/ing. A good 
many seeds were lying on 
the ground without being 
eaten. The drawing shows 
one before and one after 
having been eaten.
