  During the drive to & from Walker's Pond we observed no
birds of any especial interest. The Savanna Sparrow is evidently
one of the most abundant species in the region & is found
practically everywhere in the open country regardless of elevation
or of the character of the fields provided only they are covered
with some kind of grass. The Song Sparrow is also very common.
Eave Swallows are generally distributed throughout the
entire region breeding in small colonies (from two or three
to a dozen or fifteen pairs) on nearly every house & barn
that we passed - at least where the construction of these
buildings made it possible for them to attach their nests.
  We reached the harbor about noon and spent the greater
part of the afternoon getting back to Sunshine stopping
on the way to make a second call on Ralph A. Knight
from whom I bought a few more eggs & who told me
that Night Hawks are numerous in the woods & pastures
near his father's farm. He showed me a nest & 4 eggs of
the Yellow Warbler taken of Deer Island.
