Vaughan and myself took the train to Devon and then a seven mile tramp along the THE OOLOGIST 91. Clapper Rail. Photo by E. P. Willard, Wellington, N. C. railroad tracks which follow the Hous-atome River and the following birdswere seen: Herring Gulls could beseen at any time flying over the river;also a flock of seven ducks too faraway to tell what kind. Then as weleft the track and was about to crossa plowed field, we flushed a SolitarySandpiper. Now the birds of Connect-icut gives the earliest record as April27th, so this is five weeks earlier thanany previous record. A little later aswe were crossing a field that wasthick with weed stalks up flew four Mourning Doves. The birds of Con-necticut gives March 18th, the sameas my record. We looked up and aRed Shouldered Hawk was seen sail-ing around and around; also a Sharp-shinned was seen perched on the crossarm of a telephone pole. Crows wereabundant at all times. Starlings werequite plentiful and as they flew overthey looked like black tails being rat
