"The storm continued today so we
wrote letters the greater part of the day.
Mr. Littlejohn fired into a large flock of
shore birds this morning and got 7
surf birds and 4 black turnstones.
He thought that there must have been
at least 150 surf birds in the flock.

The storm still continues. I shot a
Townsend Warbler today noon and shot at
another. Mr. Littlejohn also secured one.
Got a Baird Sandpiper this evening.
It was in with 7 or 8 of the Semi-
palmeted Sandpipers.

Rained all day. Mrs & Mrs Stephens
went after shells this morning. Miss
Alexander went shooting and Mr.
Littlejohn & I worked in the tent.
I started to put up the bald
Eagle this morning but didn't get
there. Littlejohn & I shot another white
winged crossbill and a red backed
Sandpiper.
