Concord. May 9, 1904.
  Cloudy with N.E. [northeast] wind and steady rain
all day. A warm storm for a north easter.
  Arrivals: Blackburnian Warbler [male] [in full song] in elm in
front of house 9 A.M.; Cat Bird 1 [in full song] near farm house,
2 [in a flock] seen by Gilbert at Ball's Hill.
  On the evening of the 7th I saw a single Bat
leave the loft over the wood shed. There was a cluster
of 10 or 12 of them hanging there to-day.
  Transplanted a few garden flowers after breakfast
& the men dug 540 young pines for Seton. The rain then
drove us in doors. I spent the day in shed painting &
arranging tools. Walked to Ritchie place & Birch Field at evening.
