Ram Island, Swamp scott, Mass. 
1390 . We found a young Spotted Sandpiper about 1/4 grown and 
June 15. still in the down. It was clinging in a crouching attitude 
to the face of a rock with one foot stretched bach, the toes 
pressed against the rough surface. It allowed itself to be 
taken up without moving in the least. John Jeffries thought 
that it was in a cataleptic state but W. Jeffries and I be- 
lieved that it trusted to its pt-otective gray coloring which 
matched that of the rock very closely. The old "Teeters" fol- 
lowed us closely during our circuit of the island flying from 
rock to rock and peet-weet inp; shrilly and incessantly.
