Sept 24, 1936
Left cabin at 8.30AM for Pine Barrens about 10 miles south but had to drive many miles around. Snowing & blowing & very cold (43°) at 7.00AM. Later cleared off and a beautiful day. Secured my fist Hudsonian Chuckadees, a ruffed grouse a red tailed Hawk a blue Jay & two  myrtle warblers. The pines were full & the latter every where.
