farther out . Flocks in flight - 20-30 - Godwits - scattered, or mud - alb. Yellowlegs, 2 seen, one certainly smaller than Willet. Avocets 100+ . Pintails a few, one Ruddy. A very spectacular sight - so many birds everywhere and so many flocks rising, wheeling, settling - Sometimes they looked like great waves on the beach, when the surf is high. Cloudy - Some wind - Drumbaroton Bridge. The usual Eared Grebes. No shorebirds except on mud flats at west end where there were some plowen and sandpipers - several Cl. Rails. No Stop. Dec. 25. We put out a wreath made for the birds. But it were apples, nuts, bread, and meat. Within half an hour the Song Sparrow and Fox Sparrow were eating the meat. Beautiful weather. Dec. 26. Warm, clear. The Titmouse was singing several phrases and a Varied Thrush sang in full tone.
