NOTES ON THE SUMMER BIRDS OF THE UPPER ST. JOHN.
BY CHARLES F. BATCHELDER.
(Concluded from page [111].)
41. Carpodacus purpureus (Gm.) Bd. Purple Finch.—Common.
42. Astraga1inus tristis (Linn.) Cab. Goldfinch.—Common. Though somewhat beyond the limits of my subject, I quote the following from Mr. McLeod’s notes: “This winter [1876–77] they have been abundant, although the season is very severe. I have seen them at this time of year but once before.” The Goldfinch has been supposed not to winter north of Massachusetts.
43. Chrysomitris pinus (Wils.) Bp. Pine Finch.—Seen in May at Grand Falls. Mr. H. A. Purdie tells me that he observed it at Houlton in June, 1878.
44. Passerculus sandwichensis savanna (Wils.) Ridgw. Savanna Sparrow.—Common in the pastures at Grand Falls. At Fort Fairfield it was common. It was found in grassy fields, especially along the roadsides.
