Eremophila cornutus - Anthus Ludovic [Anthus ludovicianus]
Larus Bonapartii - Harelda glacialis
1875
(Nov. 8) [November 8, 1875] of our arms we watched it a long
time as it stripped off the seeds from
the grasses and picked up little particles
of sand or gravel. Finally I again
essayed to capture it by dropping my
hat over it, but [delete]this to[/delete] missing my
aim it rose, now fairly alarmed 
and making off with rapid flight
joined a flock of its companions
which were feeding across the river.
It evidently was in perfect health
and spirits but had probably never
made the acquaintance of the dangerous
species Homo before. Here we also
saw a single large flock of Eremophila
alpestris and two Anthus Ludovic. [Anthus ludovicianus] 
Both of the latter we shot, S. killing
one of them from the roof of one
of the deserted houses. S. [Stone] also killed an
immature Pinicola enucleator which
was hopping about on the ground
near the water's edge. I fired two
long shots at gulls (L. agentatus) [Larus argentatus]
and hit one of them very hard
but he got off. The owl proved on
dissection a [female] and had the stomach
fairly crammed with mice (Arvic. riprius [Arvicola riparius]).
Just before sunset we ascended a high
hill behind the cottages and were rewarded
by a most superb view. Coming up
river at sundown the scenery was also
most lovely. Reached home by 8 P.M.
Received today from Fisher at Nantucket
4 Larus Bonapartii & a fine [male] Harelda all fresh
A [female] of the latter was shot on Fresh Pond this
morning by Abbott Frazar & given me by that gentleman.
