Rose as usual and
exercised the dogs.
After I got back from
school had lunch as

up to 'the pond' with
Theo & E. Dodge. Went
across in Theo's boat &
went in swimming at
some ice houses on the other
side. Then left the boat &
dove into the middle of
the Pine Swamp. Found
two Green Heron's nests with
young. Came directly home &
then rode up there taking my light
gun. Shot the pair of one of the
nests & took one of three young.
Note of the male 'hough', of
females 'keou keou keou keou'.
