This morning when I went out to the bam a 
flock of six or seven juncos were feeding in 
the rabbit pen. They flew over in Mrs. Russel s 
trees. 
After breakfast 3 chicadees came to the suet. 
One went down and ate a little and another flew 
down and the first went back. Then the 3rd one 
did the same thing. 
V/hen 1 approached the rabbit-pen a jxmco flew 
out about 6 feet away. It had snowed in the 
night and I could see the juncos tracks in it. 
Ma rch 3, 1900 - Saturday. 
This morning a large flock of redpolls were 
feeding out in Bettey^js. They were very tame. 
They feed on pigweed. A cat that was trying to 
get them could only get within 6 feet. 
Heard a chicadee give the whistled phoebe note 
this afternoon. It is assign of spring.

There is about 15 inches of snow on the ground. 
The birds keep down in the woods now. This morning 
a male evening grosbeak flew over from the west. lie 
gave a loud note like tef-r-r something like a 
bell it sounded.as he got even with Petty^s box 
elder, fle swerved off and flew to it. He was 
flyirlg very fast. 
I saw one redpoll today and tonight a chicadee 
was out in the yard.

Thi s m orning two whit e-breast ed nut hat c he s c ame 
to the same piece of suet. This is very unusual. 
Generally if one tries to come hear the other it 
v/ill be chased away. One of them ate some sun¬ 
flower seeds. 
It is warmer today and is thawing. Saw a 
prairie horned lark out in the country. It gave 
the toisk note while on the groudd.
