Ther. [Thermometer] THURS. [Thursday] JUNE 9, 1910 Wea. [Weather]
Red Letter day with                                                               
Faxon [Walter Faxon] & Purdie [Henry A. Purdie].   Fine
Forenoon brilliantly clear & rather warm
Afternoon partly cloudy with dis. [distant] thunder.
  To Lexington by 8.13 train.
Faxon met me at depot. We went
first to his house & waited there an
hour for Purdie. When he came we
walked up to the Fern Swamp where
near the foot of a big pine Faxon
showed us a nest with 5 young of
Hel. leucobronchialis [Helminthophila leucobronchialis]. The [female] came with 
food. She was a typical [female] with pure
white throat & yellow front. A typical
H. chrysoptera [Helminthophila chrysoptera] fed her. Yet a typical
[male] leucobronchialis came & sang on an
oak nearly over nest. Dined with
Faxon at 1. At 3 P.M. he took us
to Golf Links on Davis Hill where we
saw a [male] [?] Horned Lark.
I returned to Concord by 5.17 train
crossing river & walking up to Farm.
Concord.
Ther. [Thermometer] FRI. JUNE 10, 1910 [Friday, June 10, 1910] Wea. [Weather]
Stormy.
Heavy north-east rain storm
with violent wind. River rising
fast, brooks running brimfull.
  Spent day in shed & carpenter
shop working with Harry, chiefly
in the pigeon house which I
am refitting for occupation by
a few Pigeons. I have had none
for over three years now.
  Took Larry for a walk at
5 P.M. We went through the
Berry Pasture, Ritchie place &
Birch Field. Visited the Broadwings
nest but the birds were not there.
Harry has not seen them for several
days. We both fear something has
happened to them. Mountain
laurel in bloom all over the place
but not in its [prime?] yet.
