and down the Point" several times. The sparrows were not 

 much in evidence today, most of them apparently having gone 

 south during the night. I saw a large number of Towhees, 

 and three species of thrushes were common again. The Her- 

 mit was the most common, the Olive-backed next and the Grey- 

 cheeked least abundant. I also saw a few Brown Thrashers 

 and Catbirds, and one Xorthern Yellow-throat on the ground 

 under the cedars at the end of the Point. I shot a Duck 

 Hawk at the end of the Point, and one Bonaparte's Gull from 

 a flock of about thirty. I also shot a Pectoral Sandpiper and 

 saw six Sanderling and one Pigeon Hawk. I saw the first Fox 

 Sparrow that I had seen here, and a few Tree Swallows flew 

 along the beach. Other records were seven Alourning Doves, 

 six Phoebes, one hundred Goldfinches, one Blue Jay, five 

 Black-billed Cuckoos. Tn the big marsh Albert Gardner saw 

 six Marsh Hawks, twenty Mallards, twenty Green-winged 

 Teal, six Horned Grebes, one Lesser Scaup, two Bitterns, 

 twenty Black Ducks, twelve Pintails, twenty Ruddy Ducks, 

 two Golden Plovers, one hundred Baldpates, one Bald Eagle, 

 and two Great Blue Herons. 



This was my last day's work at Point Pelee, and, while 

 it had been a very busy and strenuous thirty-three days, it was 

 an experience that can but remain a delightful memory in the 

 mind of an enthusiastic bird-lover. The phenomena of mi- 

 gration are interesting enough wherever studied, but the in- 

 terest is greatly increased when they are observed in such a 

 locality as Point Pelee, where the migrating hoards are con- 

 centrated in a small area that can be readily covered by a 

 sinele observer.
