fly away perhaps going a mile before fighting again. I saw which way they were were going and got ahead of them Soon they were all around me. They ate ragweed. A bunch of about 20 split off from the others and fed separately. They were not so liable to be suddenly frightened. They flew over in Voeck's field. The flight was erratic and they circled around before lighting Art and I went over there. I heard one but it sounded as if it was a long ways off.

I walked right into the flock without scaring them before I saw them. They were on some rough plowed ground and were hard to keep track of. They walked with a graceful motion. In the snow could be seen the track of the long hind claw. They flew from here over into Voll's. We started over there. Went down through Maine's Woods. Saw some Tree Sparrows. Then we went home.
