1. Colymbus auritus. Horned Grebe. 



A spring and fall migrant. Mr. Spaulding states that 

 " several were shot on the Connecticut meadows during high

 one was observed at Riverton on September 7, and one on 

 Davis's Pond on September 24. In 1908, one was seen on Cherry

 September 22 and 25, and four on October i. In this year one
