18S7. " Last evening while rowing on the South River (Marsh- 
June 25. field) a hunch of three Yellowlegs came into the marsh. I 
whistled them around and they flew over my dory not over 25 
yards above the river. Two of them were Winter Yellowlegs 
and the other a Summer Yellowleg. I have seen them as late 
as May 31st and as early as July 10th, 'out this is the only 
time I have ever seen them in June."

1899. In P.M. up river to the Holt (with W. Deane in the boat ). 
May 18. Saw one Lesser Yellow-legs. It was feeding on a raudflat at 
the mouth of Bigelow's Brook at the base of Dakin's Hill. We 
did not see it until it took wing. It came out past us with- 
in forty yards uttering the characteristic double or single 
whistles as it flew. We had a good view of it and there can 
simply be no doubt whatever as to our identification.
