tioned were with 40 or more park Mallards. 
CRATE, pa: 
The © Blue-winged Teal in the Fenway with the park 
Mallards below Leverett Pond. Bird swam with more 
ease so the leg must be recovering. 
This Teal may be the one that has been at Levereit 
Pond and the park waters for two winters. 
Mrs. Mary A. Perry sends the following important 
note from Jefferson, Mass. : 
“This morning (Saturday, January 17) three Evening 
xrosbeaks perched on an old apple tree beside the bouse. 
Two were a beautiful yellow with black and white. One 
was a soft gray, but all three had big, thick bills. I sup- 
pose the one in gray was Mrs. Grosbeak. After sitting 
quietly nearly half an hour, they flew toward the north. 
I was delighted to see them as I never had happened to 
see one. 
“Their beautiful yellow coats looked very brilliant, 
contrasting with the pure white snow which covered all 
the ground around them, but somehow such big. thick 
vills did not really seem to belong with such pretty 
clothes.”’
