Concord. April 2 1904
Clear; early morning  calm & rather warm.
A violent & rather chilly W. [west] wind blowing
through the day.
 A grand bird chorus of Robins, Fox Sparrows,
Song Sparrows, Bluebirds, Phoebes, Flicker etc.
from sunrise to 8 a.m. When the wind rose it
silenced the birds. I spent day in the orchard
with the men pruning apple trees. Walked to spring
at evening. On way back heard a Woodcock whistling
over the cow pasture. A little later found two (&
I think three) Woodcock pumping in the berry pasture.
One of them rose & sang a number of times.
