April 2, 1903 - Thursday • 
This morning before breakfast 1 went down in 
the old pasture. 
A flicker flew past me with a peculiar wing 
eat. Afterwards 1 heard it several times. It 
Was louder and clearer than that of the downy 
woodpecker. 
Saw a single vesper.lt was very wild and had 
Probably come during the night. 
Song and tree sparrows were in full song. 
A flock of juncoes kept by themselves near 
the Coules.
