Marston's Mills - 1875 Duck Shooting 1875. Oct. 20 Cloudy in the morning & clear, warm and lovely in the afternoon. Off together at 9 A.M. Striking C. on the same ground as yesterday. In Goodspeeds field Jim started and killed a turtle dove. Near the boat house swamp Shot met come to a fine point on a pair of grouse which I found a double shot as they ran just inside the swamp, missing both birds, # Parkiss shot loaded and found the remnant of the bray shot into yesterday & as they ran I fired a double shot at them missing again a rather hard shot. Following them into the oaks they gave out went freely as was the case yesterday and I killed one and Buttrick another. Shot also picked up a third which was so stiff that we concluded it had been killed yesterday. Eat lunch in Mr. Hodges shop and after a smoke set out again and beat till 3 P.M. when "Cap" ran into a very large berry near the Irishman Evan's field. Getting them into a bad place we had little success killing only 4 birds of which I scored 2. Found nothing more till sundown when we struck into Goodspeeds fields and again started the bray which we shot into last night. Shot first struck
