Sept,22, While driving across one of the extensive com!?ions on 
Nantucket I discovered an Upland Plover star ding motion¬ 
less within fifteen yards of the v/agon. I stopped the 
horse when it did not fly but skulked off slowly through 
the grass and once squatted closely for an instant. 
It evidently imagined itself unseen. I finally shot it 
sitting; it was so fat that I could not preserve the 
skin.
