Dull.
Cloudy with heavy showers in
P.M. Warm with light S. [south] wind.
Forbush & I had a long &
delightful talk by the cabin fire
last evening. Soon after breakfast 
this morning we set forth to see
what we could in the woods.
We walked first over Ball's Hill &
then to the Farm by way of
Davis Hill, Birch Island, Green Field
& Birch Field. After spending about
an hour at Farm we came back
via Howe's pasture & Holden's Hill.
After dinner we talked for a couple
of hours in cabin & then Forbush
took trolley car back to Boston &
I went with Zeph to Davis Hill
& Prescott pines to see about a
chopping job for him this winter.
Saw a good many small birds.

Fine.
Brilliantly clear & uncomfortably warm
with little or no wind - a typical Indian
summer day. Oak foliage still very
brilliant. Birds rather scarce.
  Spent entire day working just behind
Ball's Hill with Zeph who cut down a
lot of trees & Pat who burned the brush
as fast as it collected so that we had
everything cleared away, except the logs, by
evening. One really large pine that we cut
had only 35 rings some almost an inch wide.
I have now completed the clearing behind
the hill, begun last autumn. It seems
to me a great improvement.
  Five Rusty Blackbirds on wing, a
Winter Wren curtsying & clicking in brush
& wood piles near the scene of our work,
a Ruby crowned Kinglet sang freely & well
near the cabin at 11 A.M. A Partridge
drumming every now & then on back side of hill
& 6 Blue Jays at evening in Pine Park.
