Accompanying Text
"In some places you would see a furrow and hollow in the snow where there was no track for rods around, as if a large snowball or a cannon-bal had struck it, where apparently the birds had not paused in their flight. It is evidently a regular thing with them thus to lodge in the snow. Their tracks, when perfectly distinct, are seen to be almost in one straight line thus, trailing the middle toe: [image] about five inches apart."
