-1893- a pile feathers from a lark on wire fence. Got 3 squirrels & K got 6 more going home also a young road runner. Got 2 quail each @ home out of about 6 shots each x lost a hit g. 72 & black.-fried at together, at b. bids 9/23. Saw 2 kingfishers this morn/ coming toward my window. They turned & went toward marsh. 9/26. Sargents. Got a fair male spar. hawks. X (lark) (missed) 1. Heard a kingf. in river & got down to brink to get a sight when a young crow lit. Got him on wing. (this was all I saw on trip.) (Crop full of drab color) Was too near on ground. Was nearly dark, when about about 10 quail flew from his into thick sycamore just out of range. If I had shot into branches in 2 places that I proposed to I would hear get birds; as they flew from three shots. Fired @ 1 on wing (prob. missed).
