Dear Mr. Brewster; 
It is with great regret, not unmingled with chagrin, that I am 
obliged to retract the statement that I saw a flock of Bohemian Waxwings 
March 7th. I have been on the lookout ever since and have seen the birds 
several times and this morning I succeege i etting in a shot at them, 
securing 10 specimenswhich prove to be Egan whkw ngs. Our weather for 
the past three or four weeks has been severe, themorning that I first saw 
them it was below zero and about a week ago it touched -30. I had no 
idea that the Cedarbird could stand any such weather as that, so conclud- 
ed at once that these were Bohemians.Don’t let my blunder go any farther, 
I note that you want eggs of our Raptores, especially Broad-winged 
Hawk, This is our most common hawk and I have taken quite a good many 
sets of them, I notice that there is a great demand for them and I fear 
that I have already promised all that I shall be able to get. If I am 
able to secure you any shall be very much pleased to do so , 
I have taken severai sets of Acadian Owl, in fact I find them nearly 
every year, though it is difficult to get the eggs on account of the rot- 
tenness of the stubs in which they lay . Among other desirable things that 
I have taken here are Pileated Woodpecker, Yellow-bellied Flycatcher,
