They got up four woodcock in the Cotton Eem. He saw two Accipiter fuscus. Grazer saw two Pandion Carolini also in Belmont. C. Hart Merriman arrived this evening and will spend Sunday with me to leave for Eastport Me. on Monday with myself and Stow. He informs me that Lon. Albecotti pointed in hundreds at New Haven Conn., in winter of 1874-5. They came within the city and he shot one from his window. He has not seen any at all the present (past) winter. The fields are now about half bare and some immense drifts still remain to remind us of the late fierce storm.
