  August the 25th on our return from the mound of sperits saw the first bats 
  that we had observed since we began to ascend the Missouri 
  = 
  also saw on our return on the Creek that passes this mound about 2 M# 
  distant S# a bird of heron kind as large as the Cormorant short tale long 
  leggs of a colour on the back and wings deep copper brown with a shade of 
  red. we could not kill it therefore I can not describe it more 
  particularly.
