  Raymond Emerson called at the cabin this forenoon.
He gave me the following interesting notes:
  On March 23 he started a flock of nearly if not
quite 100 Black Ducks from the river a little below
Birch Island. He saw a small flock of Whistlers
near the same place that same day and earlier
in the month 25 or 30 of them on the flooded Great
Meadows. On the 23rd March he saw a Wilson's
Snipe just below Carlisle Bridge. It was flying
about & came nearly over him. Further down the
river he saw what may or may not have been the same
Snipe. He tells me that 2 Otters were seen near 
Clam Shell Hill and one just below Nashawtuck
Bridge, last summer and three or four years ago
one was killed in Mason's Ice Pond on Spruce Brook.
Musk-rats have been rather scarce this spring. George Holden
got only 26. The best skins have sold as high as $1.05
