July 6 - 1874 Nantucket July 6 Cloudy all day. Maid N. 6. Off at forenoon in usual fashion the Cliffs this time other no found the turns flying in multitudes, driven close in shore by the heavy wind. They came so thick & fast that we could hardly killed hundreds but contented ourselves with picking out the Cestus of which I secured 10 & N. 20. I also killed 8 Antillanum) and skinned all grey birds in the sand on the beach. Saw one Barno a gestatus or bird. At 1 p.m. I made off my shoes while Mr. went out to the Cliffs to try the turns again but the flight was nearly exhausted & he got only 8 paradina & 8 Antillanum). The flight of turns here is a most uneasy, pleasurable affair: they would fly in myriads all day long from the Westward when the wind is in that quarter & continue so doing for as long as the land hold all apparently going & come returning. This was the case last week; but to day the wind veering into the E. they flocked along shore all day on a steady stream in that direction, barely stopping.
