58 Song sparrow would sing under those conditions. I opened the back door sure enough I heard one singing away as happy as could be and down in the fields I heard meadowlark. Oct 14, Saturday. This morning it is clear and quite cold but the song sparrow sang away as if it was May 14 instead of October. A flock of sparrows came down in the barnyard to feed. [[end page]] [[start page]] 59 when flying some of them varied the usual [[underlined]] toit [[/underlined]] by [[underlined]] [[chwois chwoit?]] [[/underlined]]. When any of them flew over another it would squat close to the ground thinking it was a hawk. It was nearly invisible. They seemed to be very alert and watchful looking around, ready to fly in an instant. A flock of about 20 Red-wings flew over all giving the whistled [[underlined]] seeer [[/underlined]]. It was very musical.
Transcription Notes:
I'm not sure what to do when the author has inserted a line break at the end of a paragraph as on the first page of this scan. Should I ignore? Add it in brackets like so: [[line break]]? Or perhaps add in a line like so: __ ? Thanks for any guidance.
