Marston's Mills - 1875 Quail Shooting flushed three more birds and had good sport until dark. One of these birds was found in the field with its wing gone, another at Parker's near the pond and the last which we started just at sunset, in the fields near Goodspeed's garden patch. The afternoon being lowery we found the birds out feeding as early as 3 P.M. We got very few points on the birds after the birds had scattered excepting on the bury at Parkers where the birds lit among scumb oaks and lying well all gave a strong scent so that a point was had for every bird. All the quail killed were fine large birds with the exception of one little fellow about half grown which I killed from a bury of full sized birds. Started about a dozen grouse and I killed three in four shots. Met Capt. Hodges whom Capt. Baxtin knew and who accompanied us through the afternoon. He had just come in from coast shooting with two birds, a coot and a Columbus spaternials. He reported fowl of all kinds abundant in the pond, but an apparently not as numerous as usual on the cape and few have been killed in this town. The bag of birds was as follows: W.B. quail 11 - Grouse 3. Bartick, quail 7 - grouse 1; F.B.M. quail 6 Total 24 quail - 4 grouse
