Herons.— On the 4th of August, 1879, 
I saw ail adult Little Blue Heron (Florida 
ccerulea) at Mount Sinai Harbor, L. I., ac¬ 
companied by a flock of eighteen or twenty 
Snowy Heron (Garzetta candidissima). One 
of the Snowy Herons I secured, which 
proved to be a young male.— A. II. Helme,

V* Notes from Shelter Island. — The Lit- 
Ivj, tie Blue Herons must have been unusu- 
v. ally numerous along our coast last 
Summer. A gunner brought one to me on 
Kt Aug. 16th, and said he saw two. May 
I?they not have been stragglers from the 
vl same flock mentioned by Mr. J. N. Clark,

Ardea ccerulea. Little Blue Heron. —Both are in the dark phase of 
plumage and are labelled “South Bay.” Col. Pike’s notes are as follows: 
“These birds were killed by me on the meadows of the Great South Bay on 
August 17, 1847. They were at that time frequently met with. In 1888 I 
passed three weeks shooting at Ponquogue, Long Island, and was sur¬ 
prised not to meet with them.”
