a charge of shot at long range retreated hastily- 
caused consternation among the tree sparrows as 
he went. Saw 2 golden-crowned kinglets. 
Chicadees were fearless as usual. A flock 
of six were getting tiny worms dexterously from 
the willow bud3. I watched a few feet away. 
Hovember 27, 1903 - Friday . 
Last night I went up to Sullivans for the 
<ieer hunting. This morning Bernie, George and I 
went over Stabinaws and got Paul. Then we hunted 
the hills around south of Pagals and Shiras' and 
around to Pine Hollow, over the Big Hill through 
the Flat and back home. On Stabinaw's eighty 
above Sullivans ruffed grouse were more common 
than anywhere else. They generally seemed to 
roost in the brushpiles but I saw one place where 
one had roosted on the ground. They were very 
ttild. Saw a flock of cuail above.Sullivan*s also. 
It contained about 20, a large flock. 
Saw a number of hairy woodpeckers. Some 
seemed larger and whiter than others. Specimens 
Would probably show the subspecies Dryoba tes 
J ^ill osus leucomelas. While going along a road 
two pine grosbeaks flew out of a field ana 
hovered along now dipping to light and now rising 
to fly a little farther, all the while they kept 
hp low musical notes hard to describe. I thought 
~h a hasty glance that one was a male. Certainly 
It showed more color on the head. Later I saw 
others flying and while standing on a runway 
hree came flying through the trees, calling 
°kisic&lly. It soon clouded up and I thought they 
Preceded a snowstorm. Crows were seen several 
times. Once above the entrails of a deer. 
A goshawk flew over alternately flapping 
sailing until out of sight. 
Blue jays were thick and gave the alarm 
n °te at any move in the woods.
