A Study of the Nesting of the Cedar Waxwing

I also made an attempt to find out just •vhere the great flight seen off Duxbury bar crossed Cape Cod. Dr. Coffin is sure that none of the flocks which he saw on November 28 were Brant, as from his vantage point he had been watching Brant for weeks, and was armed besides with powerful glasses. Some enquiries were made for me at various points east of Ply•nouth, from Niano•net to West Barnstable, but at no place •vas more than about 1000 geese noted in any one day. West Barnstable pond gunners reported more geese than for many years, and large numbers were seen at Manomet Point and Great South Pond, Plymouth. The same story was obtained as to an unusual flight during the last of November and early December at Great Herring Pond, Plymouth, Mashpee Lake, Mashpee, and Mystic Lake, Barnstable. Hence it seems certain that more geese crossed east of Buzzard's Bay than is usually the case. It also appears that the great Plymouth flight of November 28 must have dispersed somewhat as it reached land, because no other points, as far as I have been able to learn, witnessed such a concentrated migration.
