The Long-billed Marsh Wrens were quite common all the time in the reeds
to the west of the Point. They were not singing, however, after August
5th. The swamps upon the Point supplied many of the shore birds. In a
flock there were generally Bartramian, Pectoral, Spotted and
Semipalmated Sandpipers, Semipalmated Plover, and Killdeers. It was a
common thing during the last week to hear the Coots in the marsh west of
the Point. Pied-billed Grebes were also tolerably common there. The Bald
Eagles were probably a pair which had a nest nearer the mainland. The
American Bittern I quote on the authority of Mr. Field, of Dennison
College.
I use the order of the latest A. O. U. check-list. The following
abbreviations I add after each species: C.—common; Tc.—tolerably common;
Fe.—few; figures indicate the exact number seen.
