Concord (Ball's hill)  April 30 1904
  Clearing with intervals of bright
sunshine. Light thunder showers in P.M. Very little wind.
  The river was at high flood to-day. The water
covered the path in front of the cabin 2 feet deep or more.
I paddled the whole length of it in my canoe & then
through the woods at the foot of Holden's Hill landing
at the head of Howe's meadow & walking to the Farm where
I spent the day branding tools. It was a calm clear
evening when I returned.
  Arrivals were 1 Black & White Creeper singing at cabin 8 A.M.
Bank Swallow 1 at Ball's Hill, 1 at Farm, Solitary Vireo in elms
at Farm house, Least Flycatcher 1 called cheebee once behind Farm house.
