The Revd [Reverend] Mr. Dexter & his brother
came down from Concord in their
canoe this morning landing at
Ball's Hill and walking up to the
Farm which they reached at 9.30.
They had telephoned in advance so I
was expecting them. We spent about
two hours in the woods on the farm
visiting the Broad-wing's nest. Lot of
birds about farm house, few elsewhere.
The Dexters dined with me at 1 &
departed about 3.30. Half an hour
later I heard what I took to be a
Lincoln's Finch singing the House Wren
song in the Forsythia thicket in front
of [?]. I failed to see the bird.
Still only 3 Orioles' nests building within
100 yards of our house. Walked to
Berry Pasture at evening.
