Aug. 11. Very heavy fog with a trace of rain. At 8.a.m.
a few of us went to Danvers to stay over two
nights. Nothing but Western Tulls seen on the
bay. On the mud flats below San Rafael,
there were a few Ble. Clover and one or two
Curlew (sp.?), and a number of Walleto
and up the bay Ave. Egrets and a Blue Heron.
At Manor we stopped to see Mr. Kussey's
aviaries and found them most interesting.
Mrs. K. was busy preparing food which she
brought out later in small dishes containing
big food suitable to the birds in each cage.
Some dishes contained mostly meal worms;
some combinations of cereal, worms and grapes
(needlers, cut juice). The first cages contained
Nairywoodpeckers, Lewis Woodpeckers, Gilded Flicker
