THE PLATEAU region of northeastern California is especially favored in the matter of northern visitors; and it is reasonable to suppose that flocks of these sturdy little Eskimos, such as sweep down an- nually through eastern Washington and Oregon, not infrequently reach our own borders. There is, however, only one re- corded1 instance, that by Mr. J. M. Willard, of Redpolls encountered from Nov. 30 to Dec. 23, 1899, near Eagle Lake, in Lassen County. This observer says: "At first I found only two large flocks, but later numer- ous smaller ones greatly increased their number. I ran into the first of these flocks, well in a forest, a mile or so from a valley. The birds were circling about over the tree-tops, twittering noisily, much after the manner of Spinus pinns [the Siskin], and now and then they would settle into the upper branches of some pine, to be off again almost before the stragglers had reached it.
