Seeonnett Point, R.I., 
April 16-21. /fr/d 
A few migrating every morning, flying at about the same 
height above the water as the common Loon which they closely re¬ 
semble in general appearance. On the morning of the 21st we saw 
a flock of eleven go by. They flew in a loose straggling body 
within about thirty yards of one another, but all heading in the 
same direction and evidently keeping on together. Mr. Mackay tell 
me that he has seen this before, but it is by no means commoji, 
the birds usually going singly. As far as I have observed the 
common Loons are silent when migrating faufr the Red-throated Divers 
usually utter a loud nagsal somewhat vibrating cry of one syllable 
at frequent intervals. This resembles the syllable anc. It can 
be heard at a long distance. We saw non® of these Divers in the 
water during our stay.
