Grand Chenier, LA.
Mch 14/28 (wed)
As recorded under yesterday's entry David Doland found the main body of geese in SW Cameron Parish. Today he gave me much information + then went out on patrol. I was laid up for [refrains?] all day-bad heart action. The postmaster & + [?]keeper here volunteered the information today (J. B. Jones) that ducks in general are very much less numerous than 10 years ago. 

Foggy nights, rather warm sunny days now. Scarcely a bird to be seen on river or marsh from town today
