At 2 P. v '. I saw two great Clue Herons flying over 
the Farm towards the north-e .at at an elevation "of- fully 
a, mile , one following closely 1 .. the woke of the other. 
For the most port they flapped their wings steadily and 
ceaselessly but twice I saw one of them sail for the dis¬ 
tance of a few rods on set wings, I cannot remember ever 
before seeing Herons of any kind flying at go great a height 
" \ ' '• , ^ \ , 
As I was passing through t Jirch Field at 4,30 P, 
I- heard the distant honk of a Ooose, given twice. A moment 
later the flock of 36 Canada Ceese appeared so very high 
in air that they looked no 'larger than bluebirds. Heeding 
due north oyer reen Field they were soon out of sight 
nor did X again hear then call. They were flying in the 
usual V-forraavion. They must have been at least a mile 
above the en th. Prely have I witnessed anything of the 
kind so impressive.
