Eremetes pusillus. Shot three. Mixed in with next species
Limonites minutilla. Very common. Shot about
forty. At high tide I noticed flocks light on
the marsh grass that had been bent over close
the water. In some places they would swarm
on to a small patch of grass.
As the tide ebbs and the mud becomes
exposed, the shore birds immediately begin
to arrive. Most of the flocks come from a
southeasterly direction.
Ardea herodias. About a dozen.
Dafila acuta (?) I flock of about a dozen.
Scaup Ducks. Common. I caught one
crippled Fuligula affinis. Yellow iris.
Aristonetta valisineria. Common.
Celaungula clangula. Common.
albeola. Three.
Cormorants, Common. Apparently Phalacrocorax
auritus.
Gythlypis trichas. One adult in marsh.
Melodipiza cinerea. As usual.
February 25, 1910.
