Concord. April 16, 1904.
  At day break the ground as covered an inch deep
with snow and all the trees were dense with
snow foliage. It continued to snow heavily all the
forenoon "making" at least 4 inches. In the afternoon
the sun came out & melted the snow away in a few
places. At evening snow and ground were stiffened
by frost.
  Spent most of day under cover. Painted all my
personal tools red in P.M. At evening took a
walk with "Larry". Saw a Great Horned Owl & 4 Hermit
Thrushes in Birch Field. The Owl was started twice.
The only birds heard singing to-day were a Song Sparrow
& a Nuthatch.
