Ther. [Thermometer] TUES. SEPT. 19, 1911[Tuesday, September 19, 1911] Wea. [Weather] 
Fine
Early morning cloudy & cool.
Remainder of day clear & 
warm with light easterly wind.
  Spent most of day working
at Ball's Hill with Pat. We
cut a lot of sprouts about
the cabins and swamped out
a new wood road leading up
to the crest of the hill at its
eastern end from near the horse
shed. After Pat had gone
home I walked to the Farm
where I had a feast of grapes,
peaches & plums. Heard a Towhee
& saw 2 White - Throats [White-throated sparrows] there.
At Ball's Hill saw a local Red-
shouldered Hawk & Marsh Hawk &
a Fish Hawk migrating south.
Very few small birds about.

Ther. [Thermometer] WED. SEPT. 20, 1911 [Wednesday, September 20, 1911] Wea. [Weather] 
First autumn coloring.    Fine
Clear & warm with light northerly
wind. A summer-like & very beautiful
day followed by a calm, warm night.
  Heard birds chirping overhead last
night but there were not many in 
the woods to-day. Eight or ten Black-
polls were frequenting the south side of 
Ball's Hill & flitting back & forth past 
cabin. There was a Pied bill Greebe [Grebe] in the
river just below our landing & a Maryland
Yellow throat [Maryland yelllow-throat] by the canoe pit. A Song Sparrow
sang at sunrise. Smith O.Dexter came
down at 11. After dinner we went to
Davis Hill. Only 2 Black-polls & 1 
Chickadee there, but, on Pine Hill we
found a small mixed flock keeping in 
the tops of tall pines. Most of its numbers were 
Black polls but one proved to be a
Western Palm Warbler. We both had a good
view of it through our glasses. It showed
no yellow on underparts save on crissum
& tail [?]. It was 40 ft. [40 feet] above ground
in white pines & did not wag its tail.
Worked most of day with Pat on wood road.
