Ther. [Thermometer] Sun. [Sunday] Oct. 30, 1910 [October 30, 1910] Wea. [Weather]
Perfect.
Brilliantly clear with light
northerly wind. Ground & water frozen
over at sunrise. Middle of day
just comfortably warm.
  Henry Henshaw went to Bensen's
pastures to play golf all forenoon. I
spent it in parlor writing letters &
cheques for bills. Purdie with me, also
writing. Plymouth Rock rooster for
dinner. Big flock of Juncos about house.
At 2.30 Henshaw, Purdie & I
started for Green Hill. When we reached
it the sun was low in the west &
the wind had lulled. Never before have
I seen the hill with its remarkable
wealth of evergreens so beautiful as it was
in this clear soft afternoon light. The far
distance even was absolutely free from haze. 
We came back through Howe's pasture
lands. Saw one flock of 12 & another
of 6 or 7 Robins, A flock of 4 Fox Sparrows
& a number of Juncos. Started only two
Partridge. Fresh tracks of big buck in 
Lawrence field.
