Breezy Point, Warren, N.H. - third trip up Mt Moosilauke
1894
June 22
(No 6)
  Our walk down the lower half of the mountain in the
late afternoon was most delightful. The lights and
shadows were singularly beautiful and the air was
refreshingly cool and spiced with all sorts of rich woodland
odors. Curiously, however, the birds did not sing at all
freely even towards sunset. We saw a small flock of
Red Crossbills at about 2500 ft. and a little lower flushed
a Partridge with her brood of young - or rather the young
only for while the chicks - a dozen or more in number and
of about the size of English Sparrows - were rising and
flying off quite swiftly in various directions the old bird
ran on ahead of us making a growling noise and also
chittering like a Red Squirrel. The young on rising all
uttered a Sparrow-like zeep or z-e-ep.
