Hoags House in Sarahoo 7:35 a.m. 
This morning the robins were quite 
numerous. There was one especially that 
seemed to be taking possession of the 
trees near here. It was quite noisy 
singing and giving the laughing he he he 
he he and the alarm or angry note. The 
sparrows were much argered by it and sat 
around it chirping. It was very restless 
and was continually flying from one place 
to the other. The sparrows did not offer 
to touch it, probably having respect for 
its size.

Hoag's House in Baraboo 8:00 a.m. 
This morning I saw an other large flock 
of Canada geese. I counted them through 
the opera glass and there were 74. They 
were forever changing shape as they flew. 
Nov; all would be in a single line, then 
about 2/3 of them would break ranks and 
fly to the end i-n a body and form a huge 
V. Then this would split up into 4 or 5 
smaller flocks and these would all unite. 
Single individuals were never seen alone. 
The flight was swift and direct. The 
birds neck were stretched far out in 
front. They gave notes like honk honk or 
conk and ca a. kuk. The last was 
trumpet like. They flew north along the 
valley. The weather is cloudy and moist.
