Rye Beach, N.H. 23 1871, August. Blocks of G. flavipes, Nye. Garden-jack on the marsh was right coming in about dusk. Nearly all the wood birds hard and singing through I occasionally saw Larvina and fled. butiella, also Eclans cyanus up to yesterday morning. Sepanmuscar, is still common about the fiddy and apparently but few land birds have started as yet of their migration. Aug. 14 Clear and Still. Moderate wind from S. East in P.M. Only a few storking birds found through the marshall G. flavipes with the exception of one M. griseus. Large flocks of Peeps passed through the marsh in the forenoon; but them frequently light in small flocks on the Western side of a fence that runs through the marsh. Saw a wounded Tring macularius divers repeatedly, passing over the bottom at a depth of two or three feet and using its wingingly as adustine power; this may have been partly known because one of the leg was broken. Cirrus Hudsonia is now observed nearly every day beating leisurely through the marsh, but always apparently migrating, coming up from the North and passing out the lower side. Aug. 15. Clear and putty with light S.East wind. Scarce any birds bird, flew only nine or ten G. flavipes birds observed all day. The flight of Peeps was quite large especially did in the P.M. as fast they came through the marsh continually in blocks of twenty or more). Saw but few by ampulenta
