  First flock of Wild Geese. Fine.
Sunny & warm with light
southerly winds.
  Spent entire day at Ball's Hill
working with James on the 
interior fittings of the canoe vault,
a fussy job, not yet finished.
Harry & Pat worked with the
horse hauling leaf mould etc.
About 10 A.M. I heard the honk
of Canada Geese. Presently the flock
appeared rather high. Heading due
south they passed over the east end
of Ball's Hill. There were only 6
of them. They honked but seldom.
At 7 A.M. I saw a Pheasant fly
out into Holden meadow & alight in
the grass. Few small birds about.
  I walked through Pine Park at
evening.

3 Deer at Ball's Hill Fine
Sunny & warm with high S.W. [Southwest] wind.
  As I was standing motionless in
the opening behind Ball's Hill just after
breakfast, three Deer walked past me
within 30 yds. apparently without
noticing me. All were does, one a very
large grayish one, other a medium sized
red one, the third smaller still &
yellowish dun color. The big one led
the way & the others followed in single
file. They made almost no noise
although moving along the hillside through
dense brush & over fallen leaves & sticks.
  Spent day at Ball's Hill working
with the men. James worked on
the canoe vault, Harry & Pat at the
leaf mould pit. Hobbs & some friends
called in P.M. I walked to the Farm
with a lantern at 8 P.M. to telephone
to C. [Caroline Brewster] but could not get her to answer.
Night warm & windy.
