Boston, Mass. to Bethel, Me.
1902.
January 2.
  Forenoon sunny; afternoon cloudy.
  Left Boston at 9 A.M. and reached Bethel about 5 P.M.
All the way from Boston to Yarmouth small flocks of Crows
were seen feeding in the fields which were everywhere nearly
or quite free from snow or ice. At Oxford we began to see
sleighs and at Bryant's Pond and Bethel the entire surface of
the country was buried under a spotless robe of snow which,
however, nowhere exceeded a foot in depth.
  As our train was slowly climbing the steep grade beyond
West Paris I saw, from the car window, three birds which must 
have been Pine Grosbeaks. They were flying over an opening
in some birch woods, rising and falling in long, graceful
undulations.
