e Swan at Evanston Nov. 3-15. Seen by many. Immature most likely 
from colony at Traverse City, Michigan. 
equin Duck—First found Nov. 3 at the Northwestern University Land- 
fill by Margaret Lehmann. All field marks seen by many as this 
bird flies around quite often. It usually stays with a Bufflehead. The 
habitat of the area includes a man-made rocky shore line possibly 
similar to that of the North Atlantic. There is also a lagoon which is 
fairly well protected from the wind and rough waves which is where 
the Harlequin is usually seen. —Ira A. Sanders 
white—Found a pair with chicks so small they could not yet fly well 
(Oct. 5). I managed to catch two, and the smallest measured only 
pa’’. The other was 534”. 
rning Dove—On Oct. 28, I caught by hand a dove so young it was not 
yet capable of sustained flight. It could have been out of the nest 
only a few days. This is by far the latest I have ever seen a dove 
so young. —Don Varner, Morrisonville 
SIGHT RECORD OF BLACK-THROATED GREY WARBLER 
bird I can only think is a Black-throated Grey Warbler was a male, 
t, in clear fall plumage. I can only say that the bird I saw was so 
tly like the illustration in Forbush’s “Birds of Massachusetts and other 
‘England States,” Vol. III, plate 84, that I cannot imagine that it could 
nything but a Black-throated Warbler. The bird was somewhat below 
most of the time, and I was near enough (about 30 feet) to see it well. 
as drinking out of my bird bath and made repeated appearances from 
nearby bushes. I could see the black cap with no white line, the black 
through the eye, and the black throat so clearly. The bird was so 
tly like the illustrations in Forbush and Roger Peterson’s ‘Western 
1 Guide to the Birds,” that I couldn’t see how it could be anything else.
