Then, after a chorus of loud musical honks , they 
actually turned back and, sweeping around the rear of 
long 
Ball’s Hill in a -1-ar-g-e curve, resumed the path towards the 
southwest which migrating flocks of Geese always follow 
at this place in autumn. 
A week or more ago we found one morning in the path 
directly in front of the cabin a hole which at first I 
supposed had been made by a Chipmunk from the fact that 
no dirt whatever had been thrown out. Yesterday there 
was a second hole a few feet from the first, which had been 
nearly closed up in the night. Both holes went straight 
down for about two feet and then turned off at a right 
angle. This morning I went to the spot the first thing 
and found the trs.il of a Field Mouse leading from the 
second hole in various directions. In places the creature 
had run over the surface of the snow, in others it had 
tunneled under it. I did not before know that the Field 
Mouse shared with the Chipmunk the secret of making a 
burrow without leaving any of the dirt about.
