Apr. 28 - Fla.
5 p.m. Arrived at Pensacola from
Houston. Country all the way
is Pine Barrens. Very little farming;
a few fruit ranches. Most of pines
being felled. Many large tracts cut
off for lumber; but new growth, of
pines and oaks, in various
stages of development. Recovery
evidently very quick. Birds,
as far as observable from train,
scarce; noted following: Shrike 1;
Warbling 3; Mockingbird 5;
Nightbank 1. Took 3 1/2-hour walk
in suburbs here in Pensacola;
plenty of trees and shrubbery, but
nothing in the bird-line detected
outside of English Sparrows,
which swarm!
Distance New Orleans to
Jacksonville 612 miles.
Distance Jacksonville to New York 1024 miles.
