This afternoon it was clear & cool with a north wind. About four P.M. The wind became stronger and it became decidedly cooler.

The leaves have nearly all fallen now and the thick weeds are brown and dry so that what was a veritable jungle a month ago, can be easily traversed now. The hedges are clear and it is easy to see birds in them. The road I hunt on runs straight south from the University and is little used fortunately for me. Today I met a few Dumkards coming in from the settlement at Pleasant Grove but knew nearly every one else. The Dog Farm Hedge was fairly open today. It was full of Zonotrichia [[?]] and not much else though
