While listening heard a loud rustling and saw a mouse 
bustling about In the dry leaves. Shot at it and was searching 
in the leaves where it had been sitting, when another and louder 
rustling attracted my attention. The sound approached steadily 
and presently a very large fine grouse appeared, stalking grace- 
funs'- through the bushes, nodding his head at each step. After 
watching him a few moments I shot him.

Near Bottle Brook 
I took it (a bird calling) for a Stick. Jim said it 
was a Partridge. He was doubtless right for on paddling to the 
spot I discovered a Grouse sitting on a log and shot it. At the 
report of the gun several others rose and alighted in the trees 
and bushes.

Jim shot two Grouse near the camp and I a third which 
-f 
came within 15 yds. of our fire, but which I followed nearly 
him 
quarter of a mile back into the woods. Finally killed A over a 
steady point. He was squatting on a bed of green moss under large 
hemlocks. I saw his glistening eye first, then made out his. head 
and finally the whole bird.
