- May 12 - "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. - May 13 - 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. - May 14 - 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.
