"Sparrow Mottos" Night Call of the hummit thrush, Slurus londore Back of the gray squirrel 213 Oct. 14) up all around me and I just managed to get in a single shell and pull on one of the last as he disappeared among the alder, feathers came floating back on the still air and I felt convinced that my aim had been good but this bird if killed 'shot' was unable to find, I afterward flushed another bird that had remained behind but being in an awkward position I find without "getting in to him". I missed chase. I now turned my attention to the ducks and getting a good position lay at the pond till dark but nothing came in). The sunset was hours if possible more lovely come than that of last evening. In addition to the chipmunks, a gray squirrel (S. Carolin.) called incessantly from the tall pine, and a winter wren (Y. hyemalis) burst out several times into full song: this is the first time I ever heard the bird sing in Mass. Just after sundown a hummit thrush uttered in a low tone the night call of the species as he sat on an alder near me; instantly it was answered by others all around the pond until the little amphitheater fairly echoed with thin cries. Saw distinctly a Slurus Londorei. I noted other on the 11th/13th: Quail 2 = Very late for Mass. Spent the night, with I saw 2 came from the next morning,
