Poxzana 
Carolina 
gives 
kur-wee 
call in 
autumn 
crossing the Barrett meadow, swept over the woods beyond 
in the direction of Beaver Dam Lagoon. /As it was nearly daric 
at the time, I am inclined to suspect that they roosted at 
the Lagoon with the Rusties to-night. They were probably 
the same birds that I saw at Davis’s Hill last evening, 
for the flock was of exactly the same size, apparently. 
The water is all over the meadows again and the 
Snipe grounds are completely submerged. I heard a Carolina 
Rail there last evening but neither Rail nor Snipe to-night. 
On the morning of the 17th at about 8 o’clock, the day 
being clear and still at the time, a Carolina Rail called 
kur-wee thrice in succession in the meadow opposite the cabin 
and at evening just after sunset I heard the hur^wee again 
once or twice and the ordinary autumnal call ( kep ) several 
times in three different directions. I also heard a Snipe 
on this morning just after the Rail had ceased. Yesterday 
forenoon a Greater Yellow-le^s was whistling on this same 
meadow
