experiences connected with it, perhaps the most note¬ 
worthy was that occurring just before it ended when a Wood 
Duck first appeared on v/ing above the crest of Ball’s Hill 
and then pitched down into the little bush-encircled 
lagoon across the river, to be flushed there with two 
others of its kind only a few minutes later, when our boat 
was pushed in through a narrov/ connecting channel. All 
three birds rose together from a flooded thicket beside 
the open pool and flew low off over Great Meadow, uttering 
a few oh-eek calls. It was good to hear these once familiar 
but now almost forgotten notes and to have even so fleeting 
a vieviT of their authors. 
Besides the birds above reported and a Gos-hav/k 
mentioned in a previous connection, we saw three Red¬ 
shouldered Hawks soaring together high in air above the 
meadows while their shrill outcry, pleasingly softened by 
distance, came to our ears every now and then throughout 
most of the forenoon.
