164 1875 July 5 Several hours out again and hat the land behind Browns but without seeing any birds though we found "Corking" etc. Many birds are yet in full song. On July 2d I visited a nest of Hg. Bodoriana found building on the 21st ult. and took it with one egg which appear to be the complement as it contained a small embryo and the presence of both birds in the vicinity sufficiently assured that the nest had not been disturbed or destroyed. July 8 Took the 4 P.M. train yesterday with J.H.T. Nichols for "the Cape", and aboard at W. Barnstable at 6.40. Found Mr. Jones at the depot and by 7.30 we were put down at Capt. Bayters. This morning started off with the Capt. in "the Star" and spent the whole day on the water. Returning came around the island through South Bay until when opposite Otivith we were becalmed and had to row in the rest of the way. As the sun was setting the scenery was most lovely - everything so peacefully quiet and beautiful. The most characteristic birds in the park was evidently D. juna, D. pallasi, C. trichas and Pipilo erythroph. Their abundance ranking in the order in which I have named them. D. juna is surprisingly numerous; I frequently had three males singing at one march other, Next in abundance comes Parula cow
