"Don" came to point in long grass. Five Spruce Grouce rose all j 
together with a grand rush and roar of wings. I killed with 1st 
missed with 2d barrel. Another bird rose and I dropped it. One 
bird wing broken. Got on log and chuckled. In green woods (spruce 
and fir) I shot three more, one on log over point, two in trees. 
One of latter uttered a warbling whistle. All young well grown. 
One mangled by wad.
