. The oist . ago last October, I wasout after Gray Squirrels and had noidea of Pigeons, when I started upsome dozen pigeons on a side hillwhere they were feasting on poke ber-ries and sweet acorns. They had be-come so scarce in Litchfield County, Conn., where I was at the time thatfinding them was a great surprise andall got out of range before I couldshoot. They settled down about a halfmile and 1 started for them. Theywere not at all wild and I got quiteclose to them and watched them feedand play for some minutes for I liketo study every birds habits when I getthe chance. Finally hearing some oneelse in the woods close by, they allrose and as they flew over me I shotjust one, and such a beauty.
