Bethel, Me. [Maine] February 25 1904
[margin]Ther. [Thermometer] 8 [degrees] Min. [Minimum] 14 [degrees] Max. [Maximum][/margin]
  Clear & colder with strong N.W. [Northwest] wind.
About 2 inches of fine, light snow fell last night.
  Out alone this forenoon (11 -12.15) taking
snow shoe trail through the Glen Woods to Rose Meadow
and back by way of the old Glen Woods trail. The only
living thing I met with was a lone Chickadee.
Saw only a very few rabbit tracks and a fresh trail
made by a Partridge (which, as I afterwards learned,
the young man had flushed) among alders by the
side of our path through the Doctor's woods.
