One in the Brickyard Swamp. Probably the same 
bird seen yesterday. 
1876. 
Oct. 27. 
Shot a male at Concord. It rose some distance 
ahead among scattered birches, and passed me, flying jmset- 
swiftly down wind. It fell through the branches of a 
birch, and before reaching the ground was almost entire¬ 
ly stripped of feathers.
