Sandpit on East st. In Baraboo 8:07 A.M.

Mar.12,1902
This morning was up by the sandpit on East street.  Two Sharp-shinned Hawks flew over going north east.  
[[marginalia]] flight [[/marginalia]] The flew like Pigeons and went very fast.  They were probably making for the Wisconsin River.  The Bluejays were much excited.  
[[marginalia]] marks [[/marginalia]]  At first I thought they were Pigeons Hawks but had noticed the bars on the breast instead of stripes.  They were the first I had seen this year. The flight was direct. [[marginalia]] shape [[/marginalia]]  They were long slender trim built birds evidently made for speed and had long tails which were kept closed.
