GENERAL NOTES. 
The Yellow-legs ( Totanus flavipes) Breeding in Ontario County, 
N. Y. — A pair of Yellow-legs {Totanus flavipes) remained this season 
and bred in a wet pasture in company with Killdeers ( PEgialitis 
vocifera) and Spotted Sandpipers ( Actitis macular ia). I do not know 
of any former record of their breeding in the County. The owner of the 
pasture, who is somewhat of a sportsman, and who first called my attention 
to the birds, would not permit their being disturbed, as he was anxious that 
they should make it a regular breeding ground. I repeatedly saw the birds 
at close quarters and fully identified them. During the latter part of June 
I noticed four young accompanying the parents who permitted of much 
closer approach than formerly. The young were about half grown 
and I endeavored to catch one of them but they eluded pursuit and finally 
escaped into a swamp close at hand. — B. S. Bowdish, Phelps , N. T.
