24 [degrees] min. [minimum] Fine
Clear with light N.W. [Northwest] wind.
Cold last night. Warm through
day the snow melting rapidly &
the fields bare by late P.M.
  Worked with Pierce's men in
Berry Pasture cutting off Brown tails'
nests in forenoon. In afternoon
I worked in the same pasture
with Pat & Zeph cutting & burning
brush. Found a large deer track
in snow in orchard this morning.
It led to an apple tree some of
the terminal twigs of which had
been clipped off smoothly by the Deer.
There were many birds about [?]
day, widely scattered. The singing
of Fox Sparrows & Phoebus [Phoebes] was
incessant & delightful. No Swallows
since the snow storm.

Move from Farm to Ball's H. [Ball's Hill]  Fine
Clear & cool with fresh north
winds. Ground hard frozen at sunrise.
  First Ruby-crown, Pine Warbler
and Kingfisher, all at Ball's Hill.
  Gilbert & I left the Farm
this morning and moved down
to Ball's Hill where I intend
staying for a few days.
  Pierce & 2 men began work at
east end of hill devoting themselves
chiefly to cutting Brown-tail nests.
I put the old "Stella Maris" canoe
in the water & paddled about a
good deal. She did not leak a
drop although 25 years old.
  Walter & Chas. Faxon & Dr. Kennedy
dropped in on me about 3 P.M.
I walked nearly to the House
with them. "Larry" brought in &
buried a Rabbit.
[margin]Heard a Leopard Frog snoring at 4 P.M. No Hylas[/margin]
