This afternoon after scho'ofTif~\vas very cold 
with a sharp north wind and a foot of snow. It 
had snowed all day Sunday. Mat ^ngeln and I 
went down in the fields to hunt for the long- 
spurs. Belov/ Spars on the hank were about 20 
juncoes. They were sunning and feeding them¬ 
selves. They appeared to be quite contented. 
■6 went down to Seeley’s but saw no more birds. 
Febru ary 21 , 1901 - Thursday. 
This morning it v/as warmer with the sun shin¬ 
ing. I nailed a board onto the window and tied 
some suet to it. At noon a chicadee came. I 
was resting my elbows on the window. It lit about 
a foot away and looked at me as trustfully and 
began to eat. I could see every feather. It ate 
a little and flew off.

This morning Art Rudy, Jim Seeley and I went 
over to pewee caves. The sun was shining but a 
rather cold north wind was blowing. Y/e cooked 
dinner and took it over the hill with us. There 
it was warm and sunny. The snow was melting. 
Scared a bluejay up from the ground by the brush- 
Piles along the creek. Also 4 or 5 ruffed grouse. 
Their tracks were thick. Their wings marked the 
snow when they flew. I think that I found a 
drumming log. The bark and moss was v/orn off 
fr °m it. w e saw a lot of chicadees and over 
by Cahoon Rocks we found 2 bluebirds nest in an 
°ak. Heard a crow. Found the old tumble down 
°abin where Cahoon’s lived. Then we went home.

This morning the hairy woodpecker came to the 
window. It called loudly. Its bill made a very 
■ioud noise. Flew away into the tree.
