Sept. 20, At about 8 a.m. twelve Blue Jays flew one after another from some trees on Pine Pt. and closing in together in a compact flock went in spirals to a height of 200 or 300 ft. then letting their wings they came darting down into the woods again making a rushing sound as if a strong wind was blowing through boughs. An hour later they repeated this performance, I have no doubt that they were making "folar flights" on migration. " 21 at 7 a.m. a flock of 17 rose from Pine Pt. to a height of probably 2000 ft making 1 1/2 turns of a spiral 1/2 mile across and disappeared towards the S.W. They did not make a sound before starting or while rising. " 24. A flock of about 12 driven into woods from on Pine Pt by Pyron Harris (of journal) Lake Umbagog. 1896.
