A flock of evening grosbeaks has
been seen in Ellsworth this week.
These beautiful yellow, black and
white birds are rare visitors here: in
fact, all bird books list them as "ac-
cidental winter migrants anywhere
east of the Mississippi valley" The
flock seen in Ellsworth may be the
same reported as seen in Cherry
field by w. F. Aiken. These birds
breed in the mountains of western
British Americt and the evtreme
northwest corner of the United
States. They migrate in winter
south and east to the Mississippi,
rarely farther. The birds seen here
in Ellsworth are a long way from
home.

is a much larger proposition than
the one talked of few months ago.
