Dense ground fog which lifted soon.
Dragging net to the shops I saw two
Cardinals, pleasant flydown from
the forest to the edge of a field but
they eluded me + ran into the
forest again without allowing me a
shot.
Nov. 1] The day dawned
disappointingly rainy with low
dense fog enveloping the
landscape. I was unable
to get out to the trepartments.
I am waiting for the bad
weather. The catch cons-
sisted of one more large headed
Crowdura, one large Crowdura,
& 3 Sprinips (small). The pleasant
do not come down to the field
in rain or fog but keep to the
forest. The rainy season this
year is very late, usually (the
residents say) it starts Oct. 15th
but we have had 10 days of continu-
ous rain + mist + the end is
not yet. During there today who has
been nursing a swollen right foot
tendon which has kept him from
leaving the fire with water memory
to keep the swelling down.
