  Alternately cloudy and
clear. Sprinkled once
in the P.M. Ther about

After breakfast took my
trap cage with the canary
as a decoy and with C
Carter set it in several
fields but although several
birds lit on it I caught
none. A boy gave me a jumping
mouse but I let him go i.
Got home at 1 P.M. Went fishing
with C Carter & caught
two good pickerel. Got very
near a night heron on a tree
by the Glacialis. Saw large flocks
of robins going into the swamp
for the first time this year.

Walked down to church

go shooting with me.
Heard the first locust
