October 19, 1903 — Monday. 
This morning as I waB coming to Barahoo 
I sav/ a flock of 25 Canada geese flying. They 
seemed afraid to pass over it and so flew along 
beside keeping up with seemed ease. At last 
they flew over and out of my sight. The geese 
nust have been going at terrific speed. 
October 20. 1905 - Tuesday . 
Tonight after school ■£ went out to Claudes 
at the Lake. Juncoes were thick around the house 
and I heard a myrtle warbler sing for the first 
time this fall. 
On the Lake were three grebes which I 
identified as Holboel's. They were feeding and 
stayed under water generally about 30 seconds. 
They kept out about 40 rods from shore and 
seemed to have a regular beat. Frequently they 
swam for a short distance with only the bill or 
head sticking out and sometimes with about half 
the body protruding. Occasionally they would 
splash around in play, dipping the head quicKly 
into the water. They were larger and darker than 
Podylymbus po diceps. 
A pied-billed' grebe swam from one patch of 
weeds to another while I watched about 5 rods 
away. It jerked its head back with a dove-like 
motion every little ways, there were a number of 
them but they kept in the weeds where I could 
hear them splashing about. This one gave a low 
chuckling note and a low whistle. 
A flock of about 80 Canada geese flew over 
Calling honk honk wee honk in two tones. 
October 24, 1903 - Saturday . 
This morning after breakfast I went over to 
the Millpond. It was windy and the birds were 
hot moving much. Saw a crossbill drinking at 
the edge of the water. It flew up and lit in a 
tree at ny approach with a wild note. 
A large flock of bluebirds flew over high 
M-p calling loudly. They must have been migrat¬ 
ing .
