 Clangula americana. - Two Whistlers which flew
past Ball's Hill just before the beginning of the
severe storm of the morning of the 11th were the
only Ducks of any kind that I saw or heard of
during November.
  Accipiter cooperi. - On the afternoon of the 4th I
was standing under an oak in the Barrett woods
when I heard a Downy Woodpecker calling chick, chick
rapidly and excitedly. Presently a bird came in
sight "galloping" through the tree tops with a [male]
Cooper's Hawk in hot pursuit but forty yards 
or more behind. The Hawk gained rapidly on 
the slow-flying Woodpecker of course but discovering me
when nearly overhead doubled sharply and turned
back.
