. Young folk's illustrated book of birds : with numerous original, instructive and amusing anecdotes . e similar to that which is set for , deservedly, in high repute, as an exquisite flavouredgame, great pains are taken to obtain Snipes. In the spring season, on their first arrival, they are leanbut in the autumn, assembled towards the coast from alparts of the interior, breeding even to the banks of theMississippi, they are now fat and abundant, and, accom-panied by their young, are at this time met with in all thelow grounds and enswamped marshes along the whole rangeof the Atlantic; but ever shy and dexterous, they are onlygame for the most active and eager sportsmen. When onthe wing, they may, like many other birds of this family,be decoyed and attracted by the imitation of their voice. They are, like the European Snipe, which migrates towinter in England, by no means averse to cold weather, solong as the ground is not severely frozen, in such a manneras to exclude their feeding; so that even in Massachusettsthey are found occasionally down to the middle of December. Lesser Tern.
