Pheasant
Muskrat shooting
Pine Linnet
Redpolls
Gray Squirrels

  On reaching Ball's Hill I heard another Pheasant and
saw the Black Ducks again flying high over the river.
Chickadees were singing and a Golden-crest joined them
once or twice but not in full voice. Between the 
two hills I heard a Hairy Woodpecker. Someone
was shooting at Muskrats with a rifle, up the
river, the popping coming closer all the time but
not reaching Ball's Hill until after I got nearly
to Bensen's where I heard two Downies & saw a
Creeper & 3 Chickadees. In Prescott's Pines I heard
a Pine Linnet and presently saw the bird, a solitary
one on wing darting about among the tree tops.
I also heard Red-polls near here. The cawing of Crows
& screaming of Blue Jays was scarce ever out of my ears
the whole forenoon. I saw Gray Squirrels in several
places in maples eating the opening flower buds.
