Transcription
My face and eyes which were badly burned by the sun yesterday were considerably swollen and inflamed this morning. In the afternoon a single Junco hyemalis was hopping about the yard and a number of Passerella iliaca were singing in the bushes during the [[strikethrough]] 12th [[/strikethrough]] morning snow showers at intervals. 12th Was awake at 3 a.m. but found it a drizzly misty morning with a raid wind blowing so waited until about six a.m. when taking a sled. I went about a mile and a half up the uphoon to the mouth of a small slough where we remained until afternoon but few geese were flying and I only killed one. Several small gyrfalcons and two Circus hudsonius were seen. Scolecophagus ferrugineus was quite common in parties of a half dozen or so and a number of Macrorhamphus griseus were seen and heard as they performed their aerial evolutions. Afternoon I went back through the brush, wading waist deep in the soft snow half the time
