Glendale, Mass. June 27, 1904
  Clear & cool with strong N.W. [northwest] wind.
  Spent A.M. rambling alone through
the woods on Dan's place. Birds abundant &
singing freely. Heard a song wholly new to me
and finally traced it to a Dendroica caerulescens
a male in full & perfectly normal plumage. I
have noted a full description on another sheet.
  Dan & I spent the afternoon planting hemlocks
& ferns in an opening in the woods behind the house.
Minute gnats which appear to be the same as the midges or
"no-see-ums" of the north are numerous & very troublesome here now.
