Tuesday, December 30 - 1913. Cloudy and began to rain. Went out 7 to 8 a.m. over the Campus after sparrows. Neither saw nor heard a single one! Monday, January 5 - 1914. Clear. Went all over lower Campus after sparrows, 7 to 8 a.m. Found just one bunch, of perhaps 25, or not so many, in (leafless) ivy side of South Hall and in walls, in palm trees, and in bushes adjacent. Shot three with 3 shots and got two, 5 + 7. Otherwise, I only heard distant chips from across streets outside of Campus. Tuesday Feb. 7, 1914 Bryant & I went after sparrows from 7-7:45am. Bryant used his .32 aux. & got 2 sparrows & killed 3 others; I used the British air rifle & got one but only killed 2. Total 7 dead. The sparrows hide themselves closely in dense brush & in the palm trees, where the hunter gets only fleeting glimpses. Those in the palms when shot really all fell into the axils & never came down.
