To the Editor independently Reporter.
Dear Editor: In your issue of
March 30, which came to my sister,
Mrs. Tobey. today, | was much inter
ested in your admirable description
of the Grosbeaks which visited Nor
ridgewock last month.
They are very common and plenti-
full here during the winter months
and live in immense flocks, feeding
on the buds and seeds, so abundantly
found here in winter, and sheltering
themselves at night among the spread
ing fir bouehs, where they are pro-
tccted from the winter rains.
Their coming and going depends
upon the snow i'm the mountains
where they make their summer homes
and rear their young
VAS raised at Embden Somerset
County, and | never heard of a GrOs-
beak there before. l also lived in
the Northern Mississippi Valley IA
years and | never saw one there.
They indeed must have been far from
home seeking food. They will pass
over insects and worms, leaving them
untouched. and look for buds and
seeds of which they are very fond.
They belong to the Finch family,
being distinguished by their thick,
strong bill. They are very tame and
always welcome here, lending both
beauty and life to the rainy days of
winter
have seen the lawn and its trees
covered with the merry throng, never
fighting among themselves or with
other birds.
They have already gone to the foot

peared a month or more.
