O 21 the extremity of Moose Point, now an extensive flat 
of oozy, treacherous mud, we found nine Golden Plover. They were 
scattered about feeding and seemed perfectly indifferent to our 
approach. I got two together and hilled both at a shot, The 
others flew across to the Outlet where they pitched down. Follow- 
them we found that they had joined a larger flock which kept ris¬ 
ing and alighting and finally mounted high in air and flew out of 
sight towards Errol. A single bird remained on the flats and this

were also the Plover, about twenty-five or thirty in number. They 
must have returned while we were eating lunch. We paddled within 
short gun-range but although they were all about us for five or 
ten minutes I did not once succeed in getting two together. Fi- ' 
nally I shot one sitting and aijother as it flew. The survivors 
mounted high in air and again departed, this time for good. A 
Pectoral Sandpiper went off with them .

At daybreak this morning'I heard Golden Plover whistling. 
They were evidently flying about and they must have passed near 
the house several times.
