30 Their Fowls } They are plentifully with Fowl in the winter; as with swans, with goose, ducks, unknown unknown &c. There are likewise plenty of partridges, Turtle Doves, Blackbirds, pidgeons, wild Turkeys with many birds of curious colours; There are some noted for their singing, as the mockingbird, which is called So, because it imitates ye notes & tunes of all other birds. There is also ye Humming bird, the leafs? & unknown of all others. It sucks flowers & herbs as the unknown do, : It sleeps all the winter. The way to catch this bird is either by a trap, or to put water or sand in a gun, & therewith to shoot them out of a gun, or so to drown them with water, or to fell them with ye sand.
