Another victim to a northeaster was a Woodcock, one day 
late in November* last. This incident was also observed by a 
friend, who while passing along one of the streets of Boston, 
while a gale was blowing and the snow falling thickly, saw a 
Woodcock shoot down the street, borne on the wings of the 
wind. The unfortunate bird passed within a few feet of him, 
rendering identification certain. Nothing more was heard from 
it, so it is probable that it escaped in safety from the city.
