9 April 17 Nova drank of her own accord today, and tonight is much improved in appearance. April 18 Was much surprised tonight to find Nova stiff and dead in the bottom of her cage. After resuming her usual habits yesterday we had supposed she was on the way to recovery. She refused to eat last night, but was apparently full of activity, and refusal to eat is not necessarily a bad sign. - Mica is unusually lively and has a keen appetite. April 28 chipping sparrow slate-colored junco golden-crowned kinglet bluebird goldfinch bluejay red-headed woodpecker bank swallow robin savannah sparrow downy woodpecker red-tailed hawk brown creeper lark sparrow flicker sparrow hawk cowbird barn swallow mourning dove killdeer chickadee bronzed grackle field sparrow red-eyed towhee prairie horned lark crow wn. meadow lark After a rainy night it cleared late in the morning, and in company with Miss M. we started for a walk through the park and toward the Griffen farm. Every hour showed marked improvement, and we went on to the farm. In the distance we could see Seymour Lake and the ruins of the stone house, and after visiting a dairy for lunch we started across the fields, stopping to rest by a haystack, and pushing on by degrees until we were within a quarter mile of the lake; but the lateness of the hour warned s to turn back. We followed the railroad to Center Street and reached home about 8 o'clock with appetites like bears, having had nothing but a drink of milk since breakfast.
