Rye Beach, N. H. 32 1871 August The Peeps have suddenly disappeared yesterday I saw not more than twenty or thirty and to day perhaps four or five single birds. Anmodromus candaentus is rather rare on the marsh; after the grass was cut they sought shelter in the few scanty beds of reeds that were left. Aug. 30. A.M. cloudy, with strong wind from the S. East. Noon clear. P. M. heavy shows from the S. West. About sunrise four G. flavipes came into the marsh and later a single M. grisea. In the forenoon a single G. flavipes, and in the afternoon five passed. Several Sturno hirundo were driven in by a heavy fog and one settling among my Mall decays was shot. I heard last night a few Dol. origgiva immigrating but the flight has apparently passed thus as it did long since I have seen a flock of any size. Saw during the day not more than four or five Peeps and as many Ans. semipalmatus. Thringivis macularius is getting quite scarce. Saw a single At. Berlepartus. Aug. 31. Clear and cool with strong West wind. About sunrise two Lws. decors came into the pond and shortly settled among my Seal decoys. Not that appears to be in my stand however they soon flew to another part of the pond and I chased them for my boat for some time in vain.
