spent doing little. Wind was blowing
in morning the velocity had dropped &
It gradually died out during the day.
The only real accomplishment of the
day was finishing up the egg I had
Collected. Blew all remaining, packed all
in cotton & sealed them in a small
box.

chicks I had had frozen in the evening
