  Brilliantly clear. Still cool.
  Dan & I spent whole A.M. together 
in woods.  We first rambled about 
in the pasture & along the east side of 
the mountain and then visited the
Knight Farm and the little pond beyond, 
where we found the ground blue with 
fringed gentian & saw a number of newts. 
Also found our rare solitary plant. It
showed no fruit. In P.M. took a long 
drive with Dan and Mrs. French passing 
through West Stockbridge and Alford. Saw
 about 50 Chimney Swifts in one place &
10 or 12 in another. They seemed to be feeding.

  Left Glendale on 10.25 train
& reached Boston at 4.30 P.M.
  Took 4.59 Fitchburg train to Concord, 
thence to W. Bedford [West Bedford] by electric car.
  It went nearly dark when I
 reached the meadow. As I was 
waiting for Forbush I heard 
two Night Herons & a Great Blue [great blue heron].
James came down after supper. 
Everything seems to be going on well.
