does uot flock, at least to any extent, being oftenest found scattered 

 singly or in pairs. In the United States it is chiefly, if not wholly, a 

 bird of passage ; for, though some may winter along our southern border 

 and others breed along the northern tier of States, such i)robabilities 

 require to be confirmed. As may be gathered ironi the above quota- 

 tions, its winter range is very extensive, yet some individuals may be 

 found in the Middle States as late as November. 1 Ibnnd it in -luly 

 along the forty-ninth parallel, where it probably breeds, though 1 did 

 uot ascertain the fact. It occurred sparingly about pools on Turtle 

 Mountain, in company with T. minutiUa. It is a very abundant biitl 

 in summer in Ijabrador, where it frequeurs low, muddy flats, laid bare 

 by the tide, and the salt-marshes adjoining. When they arise from the 

 grass to alight again at a little distance, they fly in silence or with a 

 single iu-eet, holding the wings deeply incurved ; but when suddenly 

 startled and niuch alarmed, they spring quickly, with loud, repeated 

 cries, and make off' in a zigzag, much like the common Snipe. Some- 

 times, gaining a considerable elevation, they circle for several minutes 

 in silence overhead, flying with great velocity, i^erhaps to pitch down 

 again nearly perpendicularly to the same spot they sprang from. The 

 southward migration begins in August, and is usually completed by the 

 following month.
