Bethel, Maine March 5 1904 (No [Number] 2)
  Saw an unusual number & variety of birds: 8  Pine Grosbeaks
(4 of them red [males]) in our orchard; 4 Chickadees and a White
bellied Nuthatch in the maples on our common; probably 
the same Nuthatch and at least a dozen English Sparrows
in the elms about the common; a flock of 137
Redpolls, a Blue Jay & a solitary gray Pine Grosbeak (eating
a frozen apple) on the hillside just beyond the mill;
a [male] Downy Woodpecker hammering at the trunk of a gray
birch by the roadside where it descends to the intervale
beyond Grove Hill; on this same stretch of roadside the track
of a Partridge in the snow. - in all 8 species. I counted 
the Redpolls rather accurately as they flew from one larch into another.
About 10% are rosy breasted. When they flew several males sang (sw-e-e-e-t)
