October 5 on a boat 3 do. do. 2 at camp do. Sept. 7. Early this morning when a dense fog still shrouded the meadows I found about a dozen Snipe on a broad and perfectly bare sand flat 100 yards or more from the nearest grass and intermingled with Sennip almates Plover, and three or four Greens of French Sandpipers. They were running about feebly for the most part much in the manner of the Sandpipers although they occasionally "jinked" as well as if to keep at practice for this familiar accomplishment. Every now and then they would draw together and sitting in a close bunch back outside in the rays of the sun which were beginning to penetrate through the fog. They were exceedingly shy rising invariably 100 yards or more off whenever I tried to approach them closely & flying to another part of the flats. When the fog cleared they all rose in quick succession & dropped into the nearest bed of tall grass but an hour later when this day had become absolutely clear & my warm I found some birds feeding on the bare sand in Sennard's Pond. They also were very shy. When I started & followed them they would alight on the mud and running a few yards against behind from slight unevenness of the surface & rise again for out of range. 1897 September M.
