74
1898
May 18
(No. 14)
The stream to the cabin, pausing at
one time to listen to the warble of
the Long-billed Marsh Wren in the
reeds. Our list has now reached
74 species, and after supper as I
was about stepping into the boat
to cross over to W. Bedford, a pair
of Night Herons lit in a large
tree across the river, their white
necks showing plainly in the
clear light. So 75 was the number.

So ended a very happy and de-
lightful day. I append a list of
the birds observed on May 18 not
far from the cabin on both sides of
the river, with the number recorded.
