On the afternoon of August 2nd a Great Blue Heron passed 
July 5 
to 
Aug.15. 
high over our house coming from the south-west and flying in 
the direction of Cunningham Pond. An hour later we found 
what was no doubt the same bird standing in the shallow water 
near shore at the head of the pond. He was a fine large bird 
in full adult plumage. 
Concord, 
Mass.

At 11 A.M. as I was standing in front of the cabin a 
Apri1 8. 
flock of seven Great Blue Herons passed overhead very high in 
air flying in close order like Geese for which I at first 
mistook them. They kept on out of sight due north. I cannot 
remember ever seeing so many migrating in company before.
