  Brilliantly clear with fresh N.W. [northwest] wind.
  The Doctor and I started out at 8.45 A.M.
and spent the next hour strolling slowly through
the Birches. Saw there a Brown Creeper, 2 [in a flock] Chickadees,
3 [in a flock] Redpolls (flying) and several Crows. Heard a Canada
Nuthatch. After the Doctor left me (10 a.m.) I kept
on alone traversing the Balsam & Glenwood Trails
but seeing no more birds save Crows & 2 Chickadees.
  Judge Henrick's setter, who accompanied me, started
a Rabbit. It passed me within three or four yards
