MacArthur's Race in Baraboo  4:25 P.M.

Nov. 18, 1901
Tonight after school I went down the river. Saw a Kingfisher in MacArthur's race. It flew up the current towards me, dived under two bridges and lit in an oak 10 rods away. 
[[marginalia]] note [[/marginalia]] It gave the rattling call in rather a cracked tone of voice. [[marginalia]] food [[/marginalia]] It must have just caught a fish for it shook its head vigorously and wiped its bill on the limb that it rested on. It kept its crest raised. Then it circled around and flew up the river. 
[[marginalia]] weather [[/marginalia]] It has
been quite cold. The river has been frozen over every morning for a week. I thought they had all gone south long
[[marginalia]] sex [[/marginalia]] ago. It was a female.
