  59. Night Heron: - One of these birds seen almost
every day (rarely heard at night) flying
over Great Meadows during May & June.
I saw 4 pass over the farm barn on May 30.
I think there must have been a breeding
colony in Bedford swamp.
  [Woodcock: - Only one record of occurrence, for
April 3 when a bird sang over the Berry Pasture
at the Farm. A pair bred there last year.]
  60. Spotted Sandpiper: - In usual numbers along 
our river front & at Dakin's Hill.
  61. Virginia Rail: - I heard one or two in
May and others were heard by Forbush
in early June, in the meadow opposite 
Ball's hill.
