Three Deer, Bigelow road.  Fine.

  In forenoon the Stones & I
went to Ball's Hill via Holden's
Hill returning via Bensen's & 
Birch Field. Found a pair 
of Red-shouldered Hawks at
Holden's Hill. The old nest in the
big chestnut looked added to &
repaired since my last visit. Saw 
very few small birds.

A Kingfisher at the Hutchins pond,
an Osprey flying north over it. Big
flock (404) of Robins in [?].
On way back Mrs. Stone caught
sight of 3 large Deer in thick brush

27 min. [minimum] Partridge fight. Fine
Clear with strong, cold N.W. [Northwest] wind.
Will & Alice Stone saw a fight in
our dooryard between 2 Partridges
at 6.30 A.M. The birds faced each other
like a pair of roosters but did not
strike hard when they closed. At 
length one gave way & ran off.
  I spent entire day with the
Stones. In A.M. we strolled
through Birch Field & other woods
on Farm. In P.M. we went
to Ball's Hill via Bensen's &
back via Davis Hill, Birch Id. [Birch Island]
& Lawrence's woods. Plenty of
birds about farm house, few 
elsewhere. Only a very few
Fox Sparrows left. Saw a
Red shouldered Hawk in Holden 
Meadows strik [strike] talons in pool
of water.
