198 May, 1874 found a few of the N. migrants still remaining. I shot him entirely. Henry remains in the buggy; took & My joshuas, & S. morbor. vs. few commoner species. Saw quite a number of My. Canadensis & shot a pair. I also shot in Wavrlng a very fine Sc. Baltimore which I shall mount. Got back at 2 P.M. after having had a most pleasant day with my friend and the first shoot with him for nearly two years. At about 4 P.M. he started into Boston where he found a telegram awaiting him & will have for Denver to arrive morning. May 28 Clear but very warm. Started off in my buggy immediately after breakfast for a few birds I spent the forenoon in the willows with rather poor success, taking about five birds & most of those Common, the last &c My. Canadensis (for mount) All the N. joshuas were gone but I saw a few S. morbor across & hard the 8 sky. While walking along quietly in the road was attracted by a surprisingly shrill squeaking and stepping up to the spot disclosed a number of Shrews chasing each other about the trunks of two long willows occasionally running up this stems
