Sparrow. Myrtle Warblers, Bluebirds, Robins and Phoebes were seen in 

 the orchard, and Chipping and Field Sparrows along the bluff. 



October 12. — A flock of six Greater Yellow-legs, a few Killdeer, and a 

 small flock of rusty Blackbirds, were seen feeding along the beach. On 

 the lake were seen a flock of Redhead Ducks and over the water a couple 

 of large Gulls (immature Herring Gulls) and a Broad-winged Hawk (the 

 first record for the fall). In the bushes near the outlet a Woodcock was 

 seen, and flocks of Robins, Bluebirds, Crows and Jays; also a few Phoebes 

 in the orchard. 



October 13. — In the willows along the edge of the lake a Woodcock was 

 seen. Several of the species seen on the 12th were observed again on this 

 date, but in less abundance; this was especially true of the Warblers and 

 Thrushes. A Great Horned Owl was heard in the afternoon. 



October 20-21. — On these dates a few Robins, Bluebirds, and one Phoebe 

 were seen in the orchard ; also the White-breasted Nuthatch, Downy and 

 Hairy Woodpeckers, Flicker Jay Crow and a few Song and White- 

 throated Sparrows. The Red-winged Blackbirds and the Bronzed Grackles 

 still occupied the roosts at the mouths of Portage river and Pinckney creek. 

 On the lake one Pied-billed Grebe, a few Herring Gulls and several Ducks 

 were seen. In the evening the Barred and Screech Owls were heard. In 

 the afternoon of October 21st a Ruffed Grouse was drumming in the 

 woods across the lake.
