Notes of the Turnstone " " Golden Plover Dead, Coronata Nantucket 1875. (Gept. 29) Tuen all in two shots, Mitt a small flock of white winged Coats crossed the point, within bay range of the liven and I fired at them without effect. After breakfast I took a short tramp along the beach. Saw a flock of minn Stup, interposes flying along just on the edge of the Surf and fired at them without avail. Their flight is extremely swift & their motions on wing very graceful. Their note is a rolling whistle not unlike that of N. Hondronius but rather higher. Saw also them Gambetta mul, and a Yniga maculata but was unable to get a shot at them. In the forenoon made up two of the breth heads & S. shrimed the other. In the afternoon dug a fland on the nearest point and lay there till dark. I killed a few sandling and 8. an immature Leorus agentatus and a golden Plover; The latter I potted Coron from a great height it athrid a high short whistle. Saw Dind, Coronata and Anps. cidorund both away. The thickled Cidars on the sand [illegible] Knols. Ybar not run a high turn in the harbor after yesterday or to day. Domestc cats are wild are very abundant on the point,
