February 17, 1902. 
Hill V/e'st of Crouch’s Quarry in 
Baraboo - 4;35 p.m. 
Tonight after school I went over to the 
hill above the water works dam. It was 
warm and sunny. On a side hill facing 
south and covered with long grass and 
clover a small bird suddenly flew out. 
from under my feet. It hid in some wild 
rose bushes before I saw what it was. It 
would let me get within 6 feet of it and 
then slip off through the grass, it kept 
up a note like tsip and was answered from 
the grass around me. Finally it flew 
away. Scared up some more from little 
hollows not too closely surrounded by 
grass. They sat very close. I scared up 
4 and then quit. The grass was probably 
full of them. They were early for the 
sun was an hour high but the hillside was 
in shadow.

Corner of Ash & 7th St. in Baraboo 
12 s 50 m. 
This noon I heard a pine grosbeak call in 
tlie next block. I got my opei'a glass and 
went up there. It was warm and sunny. The 
bird flew towards me giving the tr tur kee 
almost like the per-chic-o-r ee of a gold- 
iinch. It lit in a tree but before I 
could get a good look at it, it flew wildly 
and erratically swift as an arrow towards 
the southwest. It had been feeding with a 
flock of evening grosbeaks but did not 
seem at home with them, it kept ud its 
wild call all the time.
