Concord  April 7, 1904
  Typical April weather, showery
in forenoon, clear & warm in P.M. - a great singing
day.
  In A.M. put wood ashes about trees & shrubs
near house. In P.M. Purdie & I with Hansen &
Pat went to Everett Mason's back pasture
where we dug a large number of beautiful
little red cedars. Few birds in the woods. Heard
a Hairy Woodpecker there. About 40 Fox Sparrows
about the house singing gloriously all day.
  Geese were heard passing over last evening about 7.30
at Concord by Pat, here by Hansen at Carlisle by Long.
