Concord.
Ther. [Thermometer] SAT. [Saturday] APRIL 2, 1910 Wea. [Weather]
Fine.
Clear & warm with light winds
veering from N.W. [Northwest] to N.E. [Northeast].
  Spent day at Ball's Hill 
working on floating boat houses with
James, Harry & Pat. After they
had gone at 5 P.M. I paddled
across the river and rambled about
in the woods behind the boat house.
I went out in the new canoe several
times to try her under sail. She is
most satisfactory. After supper I strolled
to Birch Gate to see sunset & hear birds.
Air ringing with bird music all day.
Arrivals Bittern 1, Kingfisher 1,
A flock of 85 Wild Geese followed by
another flock of 28 passed over about 10
A.M. Their musical clamor was incessant
& most thrilling. The two flocks were about
300 yds. [yards] apart. They were flying at an
unusual height & looked scarce larger than
Blackbirds. All turned eastward after
passing over hill. A Snipe drumming & several
[?] [?] in every [?].

Ther. [Thermometer] SUN. [Sunday] APRIL 3, 1910 Wea. [Weather]
Fine.
Brilliantly clear with fresh
N.W. [Northwest] wind changing to S.E. [Southeast]
in P.M. A glorious day, rather cool.
  Spent most of forenoon in
the woods, rambling through those
about Holden's Hill, Ball's Hill,
Pine Park & Davis Hill.
  Raymond Emerson called at the
cabin soon after my return to it,
bringing a friend. He went out on
Holden meadows & found a shooting
jacket he lost there a month ago
when the water was high. We cut
open one of the cartridges &
found the powder (nitro) still dry.
It flashed off when ignited with a
match. The cartridges were paper 12s.
Had a glorious sail in the new
canoe after dinner. Walked to Farm
in P.M. meeting nearly all the Howe
family on the way. Lots of birds
today, Vesper Sparrow the only new one.
