Caught one large Molly Haddock. Shot a male Sparrow Hawk in the way home. Mr. Suarthy saw an American Bittern in the marshy ground today. He did shoot a beautiful young Baldy Hawk or probably a Black Merlin as it was quite dark and had only a few bars on its tail. My luck has gone where the deal crabs go lately for I cant seem to get any birds. Tues. Aug. 23., - Hunted all our usual places but got only a few common birds, Song Sparrow 4, Magnolia Warbler, 1 , Piedated Warbler 1. and 1 male Antic Three Toed Woodpecker the first we has seen since we got back. Squealing on the edges of the tall firmed immediately brings many Song Sparrows, finches Finches and Warblers to view.
