1876. Ectopistes migratorius
Friday
Sept. 29 [September 29, 1876] Clear and warm with S.W. [southwest] wind. Off
after breakfast alone this time. Drove up
to the Parker lot where I tied & beat
for game but started nothing whatever,
so returned to the buggy and drove up
to Farrar's lane where I again tied
the horse. Here I hunted for some time
without starting anything but finally
got up a grouse and shooting at it, took
out lots of feathers but failed to stop, or
at least could not find it. Shortly 
after "Dash" put up a woodcock that was
lying under a birch bush on the very
summit of a bare hill. He flushed
out of range but I marked him
down and starting him again killed
him. Keeping across through the birches
nearly to Hutchinson's run I flushed
two more grouse shooting at both &
killing one which Dash found and
retrieved. Returning to my buggy I
started for Concord, getting back at 12 N. [noon]
Saw Har. rufus [Harporhynchus rufus] 1, Pipilo erythrop. [Pipilo erythropthalmus] numbers
Say. fuscus [Sayornis fuscus] numbers. Arrivals were Dend.
coronata [Dendroica coronata] in numbers, & Certhia Am. [Certhia americana] 1.
Saw the last Seiurus aurocapillus.
Saturday
Sept. 30 [September 30, 1876] Clear in A.M. cloudy with occasional sprinkling
in the afternoon. In forenoon drove down to
the Lincoln woods where I shot a Vireo solitarius
from the buggy. It was a young [male] and was
singing at intervals. In P.M. drove down
to Cambridge, Jim accompanying me as far
as Waltham. On the edge of Walden woods saw
a wild pigeon in the road which was so tame
as to nearly allow the horses to step on it before flying
