Hill West of Crouch's Quarry In Baraboo 4:35 P.M. Feb. 17, 1902 Tonight after school I went over to the hill above the water works dam. [[marginalia]] weather [[/marginalia]] It was warm and sunny. [[marginalia]] actions [[/marginalia]] On a side hill facing south and covered with long grass and clover a small bird suddenly flew out from under my feet. It hid in some wild rose bushes before I saw what it was. It would let me get within 6 feet of it and then slip off through the grass. [[marginalia]] note [[/marginalia]] It kept up a note like [[underlined]] tsip [[/underlined]] and was answered from the grass around me. Finally it flew away. [[marginalia]] roosting place [[/marginalia]] Scared up some more from little hollows not too closely surrounded by grass. They sat very close. I scared up 4 and then quit. The grass was probably full of them. They were early for the sun was an hour high. But the hillside was in shadow.
