Stormy.
Forenoon cloudy & chilly with
fresh S.E. wind. Heavy rain
in afternoon & through evening.
Worked with Pat all day 
at the rear of Ball's Hill.
where we cut a wood road
through the pines on the flat
ground bordering the swamp.
If there were many birds
about I failed to note them.
Indeed I saw only one or
two Black-poll warblers & 
a few Crow & heard only 
two or three Jays. Across
 the river near my farm house
I saw a Phoebee [Phoebe] & a Song Sparrow
Gilbert who went to the farm,
reports seeing almost in birds

Migrants came in rainy night. Mixed.
Forenoon cloudy, misty, calm, sultry.
Sunny & hot at Cambridge 1.50-2.30 P.M.
Densely foggy at Ipswich after 4.30 P.M.
Lots of birds about this morning for first
time since I came here. There must have been
an inrush of migrants during the night although
it was rainy & misty. Just after breakfast I
heard a Titlark and saw a [male] Black throated
Blue Warbler, the latter in thicket east end of hill. It
About 10 A.M. I found an interesting mixed
flock in gray birches behind Ball's Hill. It
contained a [female] Wilson's Black-cap [Wilson's black-capped warbler], 2 Redstarts
one adult & the other [female] or im. [immature male], 2 Black-
throated Greens [Black-throated Green Warblers], 3 Black-polls & what I am
nearly but not quite sure was a [female] Bay-breast.
  Gilbert & I left Concord by 12.45
train & went directly to Cambridge where
we spent upward of half an hour.
In the Garden I found 2 Black-polls
a female Scarlet Tanager, 10 Robins & a Downy [Downy Woodpecker].
The Tanager was in the chestnut tree
at rear of house near artificial pond.
  Went to town at 2.30 & took 3.30
train for Ipswich with Walter & Margie .
Drove in depot carriage from station at I. [Ipswich, Massachusetts]
to Townsend's, where we are to spend 
Sunday. It was densely foggy. Saw
lots of New England aster in bloom
along road. Saw a pretty yellow Coreopsis
in abundance in meadows near Hamilton
Townsend joined us about 5.30. Spent
evening talking with family in library.
