Saw yesterday a considerable flock of gulls flying over the hanger to the S.W.  Gulls very seldom appear in this district; except sometimes on the forest ponds.  * When horses, cows, sheep, deer, &c. feed in the wind, & rain, they always keep their heads down the wind, & their tails to the weather; but birds always perch, & chuse to fly, with their heads to the weather to prevent the winds from ruffling their feathers, & the cold & wet from penetrating their skins.
