The Humming Bird that feeds upon the Honey of Flowers: I have been told by some Persons, that they have kept of these Humming Birds alive, and fed them with Water and Sugar: they are much the smallest of all Birds, have long Bills and curious coloured Feathers, but differ much in colour.
Herons three or four several sorts, one larger than the English, feather'd much like a Spanish Goose.
Another sort that only comes in Summer Milk white, with red Legs very lovely to behold.
The Bittern is there less than in England, and does not make that sounding Noise that ever I heard.
Curlews something less than our English, tho' bigger than a Wimbrel.
The Sandpiper much resembling the English.
The Snipe, two sorts, one resembling ours, the other much less.
The Tewits are smaller than the English, and have no long Toppins, but just like a young one that begins to fly.
There are a great number of wild Swans.
