20 parties, plus 24 at feeders. Total party-hours, 158 (112 on foot, 46 by car); 
total party-miles, 775 (109 by foot, 666 by car). A House Finch, seen at a 
feeder in Glenview, was the third state record for this species. All 6 ob- 
servers were familiar with the House Finch from western field work. The 
finch was in the area from the count day up to Jan. 10 (and perhaps later— 
report mailed on the 10th.) The Goshawk was reported by an observer 
with much experience with the species in Minnesota. The Mute Swan 
showed up 4 days before the count and has been seen since. It was an 
immature with very gray plumage, much larger than near-by Canada 
Geese. The swan was at the Glencoe Arboretum—free-flying but very tame.
