Arrives about the same time, and frequents the same localities, as the 

 preceding species. I shot one as late as the 23d December, probably a 

 straggler left behind. I also obtained a solitary" example on its north- 

 ward flight on the 29th April, 1875, at Peniston's Pond.

Not uncommon in September and October. The first I met with was 

 feeding with a small flock of Semipalmated Sandpipers at Peniston's 

 Pond, on August 3, 1874. It was tolerably abundant till towards the 

 end of October, being usually found singly. Colonel Wedderburn says 

 of this species (Nat. in B., p. 44) : " On the 9th October, 1849, they ap- 

 peared suddenly in thousands, particularly at St. George's, after a 

 heavy gale of wind ; the parade ground at that place was swarming 

 with them, and I think Colonel Drummond killed some thirty or forty 

 couple before breakfast ; but, with the exception of a few stragglers, 

 they were all gone by the following day."
