Ther. [Thermometer] Sat. [Saturday] July 3, 1909 Wea. [Weather]
Cloudy & cool.
Chiefly cloudy with strong N.W. [Northwest]
wind. Showers of rain & hail
in P.M.
  Spent forenoon in studio
writing letters. In P.M. Dan [Daniel Chester French]
& I climbed his little mountain,
Grove Hill by name. Along
its crest two or three Black
throated Blue Warblers were
singing the strange sweet song
I first heard here 3 or 4 years
ago. It now seems common
to all the birds of this country
whereas at first only one used it.
There is a Hermit singing on
this ridge as usual but none
elsewhere. Wood Thrushes sing
near the studio & Veeries lower down
in the swamps & brook valleys.

Glendale.
Ther. [Thermometer] Sun. [Sunday] July 4, 1909 Wea. [Weather]
Clear
Brilliantly clear & deliciously
cool with strong N.W. [Northwest] wind.
  Dan & I walked over to
Mc.Intosh's place in forenoon.
We found no one at home so
strolled back in the woods &
pastures to admire the mountain
laurel which is now past
its prime. Many birds seen
or heard but none of much
interest. Mr. & Mrs. Crowninshield,
their son and Count Antonelli, 
a young Italian, lunched with
us & spent part of afternoon.
After they had gone Dan & I
went to his pasture & spent an
hour or more there. Saw a Hawk
that looked as black as a Crow.
