Concord. April 1, 1904
Heavy north-east rain storm lasting all day
and carrying off the snow (about 2 in [inches]) that fell last night
  Spent day with Howard & Hansen working
most of the time in the wood shed. Hansen
sawing wood, Howard working bird houses, I
branding tools etc.
  About 25 Fox Sparrows about the buildings
singing gloriously all day long in the pouring
rain. Few other birds about. Saw a [male]
Marsh Hawk skim close past the barn.
