Megalloway River . 
Chases a Swamp Sr>arrow but fails . 
As we were passing around the island we flushed a Swamp 
Sparrow from some grass. It was just disappearing among the bush¬ 
es on the island when a Pigeon Hawk plunged into the foliage after 
it, coming from we knew not where. It struck the leaves and 
branches with great force and went into them quite out of sight, 
but it must have missed its aim for it reappeared at once and 
skimmed past us within a few yards with its feet drawn up out of 
sight.
