Fine
Clear & warm with light W. [west] wind
  Starting soon after breakfast
Gilbert [Robert Alexander Gilbert] & I, with Larry, drove
to Ball & Davis Hill & back 
through Birch Field & Pulpit Rock
[?]. It was a perfect [?]
morning & the teeming life of early
Summer was at its very best.
The chief object of the drive was
to inspect all the woods that have
been sprayed. Nearly everywhere
the results are satisfactory & in
many places the caterpillars are
completely checked.
  I spent most of day writing in the 
parlor. Young Nelson of Concord (a
rather [?] [seeming?] boy) called in
P.M. to talk about birds. At 5
P.M. I took Larry for a walk in 
the Berry Pastures. Evening calm &
beautiful.

Fine.
Clear & very warm with light W. [west] wind.
A perfect summer day.
  Spent entire day with James
pruning apple trees in orchard in 
front of barn. Most of them were
grafted a few years ago & the grafts
were more or less choked by suckers.
In one very dense & leafy tree we
found a Redstart's nest with young.
Heard a Dove cooing near the cow
pasture at 4.30 P.M. Later, while
walking through the Run to Ritchie place
heard a Blackburnian singing, a hen
Partridge whining & fluttering & saw
a large female [?] Hawk flying over
pursued by a mob of Swallows
Mountain laurel in fullest bloom.
Wild roses & white Azalea just
beginning to bloom. Tree toads & Green Frogs
very noisy in pond every evening of late.
