They have been seen in winter in the lower part of Missouri, and at the same season, , in the maritime parts of Massachusetts and Penn- sylvania, and are observed to return to Hudson Pay as early as April. .According to Mr. Pennant, they frequent the woods of pine and juniper, and are now possessed of musical talents;.
