At this moment we both gave a little jump, for a gun went off just behind us. We turned around quickly, and saw that the tall yellow-legs had just fired at a big bird. He didn't hit it. "Hello!" said Rectus; "we'd better get our gun. The game is beginning to show itself." And off he ran for the rifle.
I said before that I was the only one in our party who liked fishing, and for that reason I didn't go often, for I don't care about taking trips of that kind by myself. But one day Mr. Burgan and the other yellow-legs told me that they were going to fish in Lake Killarney, a lovely little lake in the interior of the island, about five miles from the town, and that if I liked I might go along.
The shot swung round it and killed every one of them seven hundred and sixty-two yellow-legs right where they stood. But tarnation! He'd forgotten all about himself, he was so interested in the science of it. The back of his neck was right in that circle and the shot came round true as could be and hit him right there.
Wild turkey; also various transient and straggling water birds. RHODE ISLAND: Wood-duck, knot, greater yellow-legs, upland plover, golden plover, piping plover, great horned owl. SOUTH CAROLINA: Wood duck, abundant 6 years ago, now almost gone. Black bear verging on extinction, opossum dwindling rapidly. SOUTH DAKOTA: Prairie chicken and quail are most likely to become extinct in the near future.
We followed hotly, but she was out of the yard, over a wall, and into a side lane, almost before we knew it. Then a good chase began. Priscilla had a long start of us, for we had bungled at the wall, but we were bound to catch her. I was a good runner, and Rectus was light and active, although I am not sure that he could keep up the thing very long; but the two yellow-legs surprised me.
Grandfather used to hate yellow-legs, though, for they are telltales." "Once he went over to Muddy Pond loaded for duck. It is a great place for ducks. In those days they used to come in there and sometimes pack it solid full. You could hardly see the pond for the ducks in it.
