SAUK CO. FARM. 
October 19, 1900 - Friday . 
This morning I went up to the County farm on 
the train. In the afternoon Art Hall and I went 
down to a fish pond on the place. Saw a single 
Wilson's snipe on the Narrows Creek. It lit 
again and the dog ran after it. He ran by it 
and turned to look for it. It then rose and flew 
away. Saw a flock of pipits. They lit on a 
rail fence. 
October 20, 1900 - Saturday . 
This morning Art and I went to town. It was 
bright and sunny. In passing a marsh we heard 
some red-winged blackbirds singing. The song was 
clear but not so loud as in the spring. In 
crossing the bridge at Reedsburg a female English 
sparrow flew into a hole with a straw. The 
sparrows would hop just out of the way of the 
wheels and watch them closely as they went by. 
This afternoon we went down by the Creek. 
Floyd Hewitt was along. Saw two pipits feeding 
on some ragweed. It is a flat country here 
find the valley was very wide. It seems strange 
^hat I saw no meadowlarks. Crows could be heard in 
all directions. Saw several song sparrows along 
the creek and heard a golden-crowned kinglet. 
October 21, 1900 - Sunday . 
This morning we v/ent up on the hill. I could 
bear prairie horned larks in all directions. Saw 
a great number of robins. There is a roost north 
°f the house about l/2 mile. Saw a small flock 
°f pipits on the wing. 
October 22, 1900 - Monday . 
Art and I went hunting on the hill this after- 
hoon. it had rained all the forenoon. 
There were great numbers of juncos in the bushes
