Excerpt from Cape Cod, Vol. 2 of 2
Of birds not found in the interior of the State, - at least in my neighborhood, I heard, in the summer,-the Black-throated Bunt ing (fringilla Americana) amid the shrub bery, and in the open land the Upland Plover (tetanus Bartramias), whose quivering notes were ever and anon prolonged into a clear, somewhat plaintive, yet hawk like scream, which sounded at a very indefinite distance. The bird may have been in the next field, though it sounded a mile off.
