Ther. [Thermometer] MON. APRIL 4, 1910 [Monday, April 4, 1910] Wea. [Weather]
Dull.
Chiefly cloudy with strong, damp
S.W. [southwest] wind & an occasional
sprinkle of rain.
  Spent day at Ball's Hill
Working with James & Harry on 
the floating boat houses. Pat raked 
leaves. He heard more Geese last
night. I took a walk in 
the woods on Pine Ridge this
evening but saw nothing of interest 
there. Red-wings [Red-winged Blackbirds] & Rusties [Rusty Blackbirds]  were
holding high carnival along the
river just before sunset, making 
a deafening clamor of mingled voices.
A Snipe began drumming a little
later. Still later Hylas & Leopard Frogs
broke out into full cry. I saw & 
heard only a few birds during
the middle part of the day.

  Revd. Mr. Dexter [Reverend Mr. Dexter] of Concord called 
at 2 P.M. staying nearly an hour.

of 25 Snow Geese flying S. [south] over Concord
last autumn. Also that several flocks
of Gooseanders [Goosanders] have been seen this spring.
