Concord, June 6, 1904.
  Cloudy threatening rain which did not 
come. Wind N.E. [northeast]. Cool.
  Spent day putting up a wire netting
fence about the fruit orchard to keep out
woodchucks & rabbits. Forbush & Hansen working
with me; also Pat. A red Screech Owl in a
leafy apple tree in the orchard was surrounded
all day by an angry & excited mob of birds.
  Walked to Ritchie place & Bensen's at evening.
On way back started a deer near Pulpit Rock. He
went off with a great crashing. I did not see him.
