Capture of Baird's Sandpiper on Long Island.— On September 
22, 1880, I shot a specimen of Tringa batrdi on Montauk, Long Island. 
The bird was in a flock of “ Peeps” {Ereunetes fusillus), feeding on the 
beach of Great Pond, a brackish lake often in communication with the 
Sound. It so closely resembled the “ Peeps ” that I only noticed it on 
account of its larger size. The skin I preserved, though badly cut by the 
shot. — Daniel E. Moran, Brooklyn , N. T. 
[This is apparently the first known occurrence of this species on the 
Atlantic Coast southjfNe P. *><> 
Baird’s Sandpiper on Long Island, N. Y. — a Correction. In the 
Bulletin for January, 1882, p. 60, it is stated that the record of a specimen 
of this species from Long Island is apparently its first from any point 
south of New England. A note to the editors from Dr. E. A. Mearns 
calls attention to a previous record of the species for Long Island in an 
article by Newbold T. Lawrence, entitled “Notes on Several Rare Birds 
Taken on Long Island, N. Y.,” published in “Forest and Stream,” Vol. 
X, No. 13, p. 235, May 2, 1878, as follows 
“ Tringa bairdii , Baird’s Sandpiper.— Four specimens taken at Rocka- 
way. The first two in September, 1872, shot on a small piece of meadow, 
out of a flock of Tringa minutilla. The third was taken August 26, 1873, 
while snipe shooting on a low strip of sand that separates the ocean and 
bay. My attention was first called to it by hearing a peculiar long-drawn 
whistle, and soon after I perceived a small snipe flying very high. The 
next moment it darted down and settled among my decoys, where I se- 
cured it. The fourth was taken in the same locality as the first two, Sep- 
tember 20, 1874. Three of the above specimens were males.”— Edd 
Bull. N.O.O. 7, April, 1.882, p. IJt? ~

The Baird’s Sandpiper (. Actodromas bairdii ) at Locust Grove, New 
York. August 18, 1885, while Dr. C. H. Merriam and the writer were 
BMrd’f S 7 " C ° Unt T r ° ad a ‘ Ule ab ° Ve locali ‘r -e discovered a solitary 
Baird s Sandpiper on the edge of a small, temporary poo, of water formed 
by the recent rains. It was a female of the year in fine plumage and 
was evidently a straggling migrant which had dropped down hap hazard 
to feed and rest. Most of the eastern stragglers Of this species hitherto 
recorded have been from the Atlantic coast, but undoubtedly the bird 
occurs more or less commonly all the way across the interior country—
