Marched from Sauir, on Lake Lanao to Camp Vicars, 12 miles. As soon 
as we reached the grassy pantars from Sauir to Vicars we again, found the 
Long-tailed Shrike, which had been absent from the Lake marshes. 
Soaring above the meadows were the usual number of White-headed Hawke 
and harriers (gray, and gray-and-black species). One big spotted bar-tailed 
Haws was seen at Eaincrows , Re d-and- Green Paraquets, Brown Rice- 
Birds, Red-billed Frogmouths, Striped Locustella, etc. In the early morning, 
before leaving the Lake, at Sauir, I went shooting with Gen. Wood and Capt, 
McCoy. We shot about 20 ducks , mostly the larger Tree-Duck (Dendrocygna) ; 
also a Grebe and Water Hans. The General killed two dusky Mallards at 
the same shot, and many others were seen* A grayish wader with pure white 
wings, the size of a Woodcock was quite common, in pair s , on the lily pads 
and water cabbage patches bordering the grassy shores, but we shot none. 
Several Ospreys were fishing* No Gulls or Terns were seen at the Lake, 
but at Sauir were many Anlingas* One Bu tor ides, many Great Blue Herons, 
and some Little Brown Herons. Waterhens were abundant and tame. One or 
two horned Gallicrex were flushed. Water hens ( Gall inula )often alighted 
on the rank grass# Several white-breasted Rails were seen on the grassy 
shore. The large, red-billed, brown and blue Kingfisher was seen on the 
water for the first time . I had always seen them inland before this. 
The small brown— and— blue Kingfisher was also seen at Sauir* White 
headed Chats, Brown Pigeons, Ring-Doves were also seen there; and Orioles and 
Hairy -backs were common# Swallows and Swifts, Swallow-Shrikes, Brown- 
breasted Thrush, White-headed Chat, All at Sauir, where I also saw two 
Hogs (Sus) the evening before when bringing Corporal Wampler in. Big
