Friday, June 12, 1868.
  Mr. Dexter called in to see my
birds in the evening.
Cloudy & rained most
of the time. Ther.
about 50[degrees] - 62[degrees] - 
55[degrees]. Rose as usual
& exercised the dogs.
Walked down to school
alone and got late.
After I got home had
lunch. Then Henshaw
came up & went with
me to the Prairie Warbler's
found last Saturday, but
found that it was only
a Yl. Warbler's; took one: Then
found a Br. Thrush's, one: took 
it. Then a Bl. Bill Cuckoo's
two broken. Br. Thrush's five:
took two. Shot a female Prin.
Creep. Warbler but spoilt her.
Came almost directly home
as it was raining fast
but found nevertheless a
P. Creep. Warbler's (probably) just
finished & another nest that
may prove a Yl. Bre. Chat's.
Saturday, June 13, 1868.
  Clear but rather warm.
Ther. about 60[degrees] - 70[degrees] - 
60[degrees]. Rose at 5 A.M.
and found Ruth
waiting for me.
Tookl Tiger and started
getting off at about 6
A.M. Put up the horse
at Chenery's. Found
a Red Eye's, three; an
Indigo Bird's, making,
& Maryland Yl. Thrt's ditto.
I shot two & R. two Weasels
with my horse pistol. I also
shot a male Yl. Warbler &
found the nest, a double one.
Then rode on through the
Willows, shot a Red Wing with
pistol, and took our lunch
at a brook in Lexington.
Then started for home & on
the way found a Prairie
Warbler's (probably), nearly
finished.
