Killdeers at Allen’s Harbor, R. I. — From August 16, 1904, until Sep- 
tember 11, I stayed at Allen’s or Quiduessett Harbor, North Kingston, 
R. I., five miles east of East Greenwich. There I found in an open closely 
cattle-cropped field a flock of about a dozen Killdeers (Oxyechus vociferus). 
They inhabited this field where doubtless they bred, making frequent 
visits to the salt marshes about the harbor. Mourning Doves were com- 
mon with them, visiting the cornfields instead of the marshes. A trust- 
worthy farmer tells me that they have bred in the pasture for years 
commonly. He has often seen their young. — Reginald Heeer Howe,
