f ind it along the water. I caught and it gave 
£ note like tseep , something like a young dove. 
upper parts were fawn changing to grey on 
“he head, black stripe on crown, back and 
“hrough eye, underparts white, tail represented 
a few long hairs, bill slate banded with a 
lack band and tipped with white tarsus yellow

It took to the water like a young duck. It 
^ent into the pond of its own accord, \lhen I 
nied to catch it it dove and stayed under for 
a lf a minute. It swam with its wings and feet, 
hst its tail and head showed above water. While 
lying it swam with its wings and left its feet 
sticking straight out behind. Sometimes it went 
own and left its feet sticking out of the water. 
■ <e took it out of the water and it ran and hid 
^ the grass;a ways farther on we came to slough 
hat we could not cross. Terns were very thick 
er e. They had their nests across the slough. 
Then we turned back. Found a wrens nest in 
a tree but could not reach it.
