12 THE AUDUBON BU L Lobe 
crowned night heron with less complacency observed my approach. His 
nocturnal habits made him well aware of my presence, and with awkward 
flight he stole away into the night. 
A star appeared in the eastern sky as I started my return. Three 
spotted sandpipers with rapid wing beat chased each other back and forth 
above the surface of the water, accompanied by the oft-repeated high- 
pitched “peep, peep” which is so characteristic of them. They headed 
directly toward the boat, but veered off just in time to avert a collision. 
A woodcock, on whirring wing's, passed on its way to probe for worms 
along a muddy shore. A nighthawk passed close to my head in its undulat- 
ing flight. Though capable of seeing and catching insects, in full flight, in 
the dusk, it had taken no notice of me. Darkness had made me a part of 
this harmonious setting.
