Inis is the only note these park owls seem to have 
and is one of defiance I think. It was accompanied 
generally with a loud snap of the hill. After 
giving this note it stretched one wing out and 
closing its foot put it under it and held it 
there for about half a minute, Then it did the 
same with the other side and then sat still 
awhile. Next it fluffed out its feathers and 
seemed to he fully awake. It notes v.ere given 
w ith more emphasis now.

This afternoon I was down by the depot. Twelve 
Canada geese flew over. They were low down and 
Were going at a moderately fast pace. They were

Were silent. It was warm and pleasant but I 
think from seeing them that it will change.

°^her hawks. It went a few points west of south. 
_ orn below it seemed to have a pure white body 
with a black tail and black tipped wings. It was 
Ver y beautifully and strikingly marked and seem-

j-overed ground. It was nrobably driven here by 
“he cold.
