This quiet bird is a permanent re sident here with us, but makes its presence known more in winter, when it roams about over the countryside in large flocks. I have seen flocks con taining hundreds and some few con taining thousands of these birds, of ten in company with Starlings. They feed on berries and fruits and seem to relish wild cherries and poke berries in particular. ■ The usual position of the nest, ac ! cording to my observation, is an or chard tree. In fact, I have never found one outside of an orchard. The usual distance is from 7 to 15 feet from the ground. I have found it, without exception, to be a handsome structure, being rather bulky but compact, and made of bark, leaves, roots, twigs, weeds, paper, rags, twine and wool. One nest I discover ed mas made entirely of wool and •ags with some sycamore balls orna menting the walls. It is usually lined with fine grasses, moss, wool, and hair. In my locality the nesting season is from mid-June through July. Three or four eggs are the usual comple ment, but I have found a few nests containing five. The color is from a light slate to a deep stone color, ting ed with olive and blotched and spot ted with dark brown and purple. The most of the eggs I have seen were rather dark. On several occasions I have approached to within a foot of the parent bird sitting on the nest. They are the very picture of silent fear, stretching the neck and depress ing the crest, and seemingly afraid to fly. They have no song but carry on a conversation with themselves with r. soft hiss. I have always loved these quiet Quaker-like birds, which arc here today, gone tomorrow, as were the Nomads of olden times. SCOTTVILLE The members of the S. C.
