  7. Junco. - A flock of sixteen started, about noon, in Benson's
asparagus bed whence they flew into the bordering pitch pines
  8. Tree Sparrow. - One seen by the roadside near Minot Pratt's
and two found together in bushes at E. end of Ball's Hill
  9. Crow. - But one noted - flying over the orchard at our farm
  10. Blue Jays. - Three in the swamp behind Ball's Hill. They
were very noisy, screaming incessantly for several minutes
  11. Downy Woodpecker. - One heard calling near Bensen's
  12. Flicker. - Three together in large trees by the roadside near
Minot Pratt place.
  13. Partridge. - Started one on Birch Field and two at Ball's Hill.
  Squirrels, both Red & Gray, were out in great numbers.
I saw them almost everywhere, sometimes two or three
together but often singly. Their numbers were about
equal at the farm but in the Ball's Hill region the
Grays greatly outnumbered the Reds.
  Although the light covering of fresh snow (about an inch
in depth) was thickly marked by the foot prints
of Squirrels and Mice I saw very few rabbit tracks and 
none at all, I think, except at Ball's Hill.
Fox tracks were seen in Birch field. I looked in
vain for deer tracks. Lawrence tells me that a large
Deer crossed his field and visited our pond (in
the berry pasture) late in November. This he knows 
from the track. The animal was not seen.
