R Deane came down
at about 7.45 A.M.
and we were carried
over to Stoneham by
mother. On the way over
we found a red eyed vireo's
nest with 3 but they were
nearly hatched. Went in off
the rock at spot pond & heard
the solitary vireo singing there.
Found another red eye's with one.
Took the 3.35 P.M. train into Boston
but were delayed by the Draw

my Greek after getting home.
Strawberries about done up.
