three Woodcocks. A Great Blue Heron was recorded by Mr. 

 Griibb and three Horned Grebes by Swales. 



October 7 — On a trip to the end of the Point with Swales 

 and Taverner a small flight of Sharp-shinned, a large number 

 of Cooper's, and one Red-shouldered Hawk were seen. The 

 most of these birds were adults and in beautiful plumage. 

 One Bald Eagle was seen, and at the sand spit a few Herring 

 Gulls and one Common Tern. Other birds seen today were 

 Brown Creepers, eight Hermit Thrushes, ten Sanderling, 

 twenty-five Myrtle Warblers, and five Woodcocks. 



October 8 — Many hawks, principally Cooper's and Sharp- 

 shinned were also seen today. In the afternoon I saw both 

 species all over the Point. Two immature Eagles soared over 

 Gardner's clearing. Flocks of Field, Song, White-crowned 

 and White-throated Sparrows were common about the clear- 

 ings and the low bushes on the Point, and I saw one Henslow's 

 Sparrow in a low meadow east of Gardner's. Juncos were 

 also common about bushy clearings, and at evening I saw a 

 Night Hawk soaring about at the edge of Gardner's clearing 

 near low timber. 



October 9 — But few hawks were seen today, most of them 

 having apparently passed on. Those that remained roamed 

 over the Point catching the Thrushes, and one (a Cooper's) 

 came to Gardner's yard for a chicken. Bald Eagles were 

 seen and a large flock of Crows (about one hundred) went 

 down the Point and back several times during the day. A 

 flock of about seventy-five Blue Jays flew back and forth ; 

 large flocks of sparrows of all kinds were scattered over the 

 Point. Large flocks of blackbirds, mostly Redwings, went 

 down to the Point early in the morning, and one flock of 

 Bluebirds was seen. One lone Sanderling was observed at the 

 end of the Point. 



October 10 — Conditions remained about the same today. 

 The same ( ?) large flock of Crows flew up and down, and a 

 few Cooper's Hawks were seen. Numbers of Sharp-shinned 

 Hawks roamed over the Point, but the Kinglets were not as 

 common although the sparrows seemed about the same as on
