From Forest Hill north was an unbroken forest to Fort Washing- ton Point, and the Pigeons could be seen speeding over the tree tops at a rate of seventy-five miles or more an hour. Another of the old country seats at that time was Claremont, now for some years used as a restaurant and situated not far from General Grant's tomb, and during one of these flights of the Pigeons more than a hundred were shot one morning by a gentleman from the roof of the dwelling. He enumerates many other species o...f birds that passed Forest Hill during the various months of the summer, and also speaks of the Robins pursued by gunners in Digitized by VjOOQIC Isq^^n Elliot, George Newbold Lawrence. 5 the hi^h woods where is now Third Avenue and 20th Street. At the time the Robins were migrating there would frequently be seen large flocks of Meadowlarks (Shimella magna) going south, and they would congregate in great numbers in what were then pasture fields, about where Broadway and 40th Street now is. He tells of skating from where the Tombs now stand in Centre Street, down the Canal that ran through the middle of Canal Street, passing under the wooden bridge that spanned it at Broad- way, onto the Lispenard's meadows which stretched- away to the Hudson River.
