The writer might properly be ac- cused: of neglecting the water birds. That may be chiefly because he has | never lived by a pond or lake where such birds might be seen commonly therefore has not become inter- ed in nor well acquainted with them. Wilson's snipe, which’ prob- ably is the one most commonly called “snipe”, was noted at Arcusville April ; 24, Fatgo April 19, Flaxton April 29. The great blue heron was seen at Argusville April 24 ‘and the black-crowned night herop at James- town April 2. A rare record is that of the osprev or fish hawk at Jumes- | town April 23.
