[?] 
  Cloudy & cool with a sprinkle 
of rain about noon. Wind N.E. [northeast].
  Spent day at Ball's Hill.
Duren with his man & Pat
as helpers sprayed most of the
south side of the hill.
  Harry fitted bands on the
trees for tangle foot. The
situation looks very grave
for the caterpillars are in
millions & eating fast.
  Despite the dull weather the
river was alive with boats &
canoes all day - a very common
lot of people but respectable as
a rule. Late in P.M. I had a
brief call from Mr. Metcalf &
Mrs. Gay. Northern Water Thrush [northern waterthrush] 1 [in full song]
Night Hawk 1. Two Partridge
nests & brood of young (see Journal).
Got back to Farm at 6 P.M.
Concord. 
Ther. [Thermometer] TUES. MAY 31, 1910 [Tuesday, May 31, 1910] Wea. [Weather]
Dull.
Forenoon rainy, afternoon clearing.
Cool with easterly to westerly winds.
  Spent most of day in barn
cellar clearing up & rearranging
things with the help of Pat & Harry.
We disturbed the Phoebees [Phoebes] greatly 
at first but they finally became
reconciled to our presence. They were 
feeding young almost fully fledged, in
the nest. I had a fine chance to
watch them & also the Nuthatches
feeding their young in the elm.
  Took a walk to the Berry Pasture,
Ritchie Place & through Barrett Run, 
at evening. The Gypsy Moths are
bad everywhere except in the pasture.
Only one north-bound migrant
a Black-poll Warbler - noted to-day.
Woods in full leaf. Mountain
laurel opening first blossom, very early.
