In Davis. 1941. New York City - Montauk Point, Suffolk Co., Long Island, New York. May 28. Drove to Montauk Point via Moniches Inlet which is a few miles west of Easthampton. Sibley collected a ruddy turnstone and a semifemaled sandpiper for me. Leaside and Sharp-tailed Sparrows fairly common in saw grass. Shorebirds only fair. I have seen much better birding in July & August at this same spot. Drove on to Montauk. Virtually no birds here. Picked up dead Catbird, Yellowthroat, and Red-eyed Vireo at base of lighthouse. Camped and set traps a few miles from Montauk Point. Woodland running down to marsh bordering a small bay. May 29. Picked up traps. 1 Hirolotus pennsylvanicus and 2 Chloronaea leucofusus. Drove back. Saw pine warbler in Pinus rigida near Brookhaven. Drove to Bob Store's house in South Orange, Essex Co., New Jersey. Spent night there. May 30. Store & a friend of his, Vinton Loe, took us to Troy Meadows and Boonton Ridge, both in Morris Co., N.J. Returned to Harriman in late P.M. May 31. Drove to Phoenicia, Ulster Co., New York, and camped in the Catskill Mts. a few miles west of south of town. Set out about 40 traps
