Concord April 8, 1904
  Forenoon clear and warm with light S.E. [southeast] wind.
Afternoon cloudy with chill N.E. [northeast] wind.
  Spent most of day planting the cedars
collected yesterday afternoon setting them on the
hillside below the orchard and putting a few about
the house. The only arrival noted was a Field Sparrow
singing in the berry pasture. About 20 Fox Sparrows
on the farm several of them singing most of the forenoon
at intervals. A Dove cooing in the tall oaks south of
the Run. Purdie is still with me. He spent much
of the day in the woods.
  A full chorus of Hylas this evening for first time
Wood Frogs croaking in forenoon.
