Bethel, Me. [Maine] February 28, 1904.
 Ther. [Thermometer] 4 [degrees] Min [minimum] 32 [degrees] Max [maximum]
  Cloudy and snowing most of day but 
making only 2 or 3 inches. Wind S. [South] Cold
last night but mild through day.
  The Doctor and I were out from 4 to 5.30 P.M.
We first visited the camp and built a fire there. Then
we went over the Greenwood Trail to the farm cut off
and returned by the Glen Wood Trail. Saw a large flock
of Redpolls feeding in a tall gray birch. Counted 62 & think
there were several more. Heard a Golden-crest and caught a 
glimpse of it flying through dense arbor-vitae swamp. The
Doctor started two rabbits (L. americanus) [Lepus americanus] from under fallen
tree tops near the trail. Both looked very white yet showed
conspicuously against the snow.
14 Grosbeaks ( 9 gray and 5 red) visited apple trees at 8 a.m and 6 (3 red and 3 gray)
at 4.P.M. a [male] Hairy W. [hairy woodpecker] also there eating apple pulp.
