Out in our time on birds and took a number of desirable specimens though the day was cold with some rain. Found an nest of Trump Sparrow with young a few days old. Observed a sora rail about the edge of a marsh. He walked leisurely about. frequently jutting his tail which was carried slightly erected, when he emitted his two syllabled crying note he extended his head forward and his body being held nearly horizontal and gave the note several times in succession, slightly nodding In the same marsh observed a pair of solitary Sandpipers. and a single & pair of Caspian Terns seen flying over the neck of land. Dandelions are just coming into full flower Tuesday June 23. Took a number of birds and made them up. Saw Chamae- daphne in a marsh near the post. Wednesday June 24. Spent most of the day making preparations for my trip. The day was windy and rather brash for collecting. The "Wrigley" arrived late in the evening from the Mackenzie and left in an hour or two for Fort Smith. Thursday June 25. The day was extremely windy and considerable rain fell. During the afternoon a remarkable movement of Lawrence Warblers was observed they came from the north and Northwest and crossed the point of land in front of the Fact. my levels of 10 or 12, flying both southward across the Bay or skirting the shore in the teeth of a very strong southeast wind. Upwards of 300 were seen during the 20-3 hours that I observed their flight. Two, a male and female were shot. The ovaries of the female showed eggs only slightly buried. On reaching the shore where they were exposed to the full force of the wind the birds frequently alighted for a few seconds on low bushes but started on again at the slightest alarm.
