a few sandpipers and a small flock of Black-bellied Plover about the 
last of September. . 
As I said before, the flight was small. I learned after I had left 
there was a large flight about the last of October. If there were not 
so many gunners, as there are in the neighborhood, the shore-birds 
would stay longer, but as it is, they remain only a few days in one 
place.
