MacArthur's dam in Baraboo  4:30 P.M.

Nov. 19, 1901.
Tonight I went down the river. By MacArthurs dam a large brownish bird flew out of some willows and lit on a little Island. I went [[marginalia]] color [[/marginalia]] over on it and looked the ground over but [[marginalia]] protection [[/marginalia]] saw nothing. Then it flew up from behind a tussock of grass and flew over a rise to the river again. It was a Wood cock the [[marginalia]] flight [[/marginalia]] first I had ever seen. Its flight was like that of a Wilson's Snipe swift and erratic with swift [[marginalia]] description [[/marginalia]] impulses of its long wings. It was not bright out.  It was plumber than a Wilson's Snipe.
