[[marginalia]] tracks [[/marginalia]]  This morning I went down in the fields.  Saw a number of Quail tracks.  The south slope in Maines woods was covered with them.  In one place they had gone into a large rabbit holes.  I could see tracks down it as far as snow extended.   In some places along the river they had worn a little path an inch or two wide.  Saw one place where they had roosted.  The tracks were made yesterday mostly.  They put 1 foot in front of another.  As in illustration.
[[marginalia]] explanation [[/marginalia]]  The drawing shows an exceptionally clear track.
