Ther. [Thermometer]  TUES. JUNE 21, 1910 [Tuesday, June 21, 1910 Wea.
86 [86 degrees]  More spraying.  Fine
Clear & very warm with light W. [west] wind.
  Spent entire day in the woods
with Duren, spraying. In forenoon
we worked in Pulpit Rock woods.
They were stripped last year but
conditions are not bad there now.
In afternoon we were at Pine 
Park & on Pine Ridge. In both places
there are rampant colonies of "gyps".
The eastern half of Balls' Hill
is nearly free from caterpillars but
the western end is bad with them.
They are fast stripping the whole of
Blackmore Ridge although we sprayed
its entire South Side two or three
weeks ago. On Davis Hill they
are doing much damage despite
Richardson's careful work.
Larry & I walked to Berry Pastures
at evening. Saw a Broad-wing [broad-wing hawk] fly [?]
westward with [?] in his talons.

Clear & hot with light westerly winds
  Wrote a number of letters after breakfast.
At 10.30 went to Davis Hill to meet
Richardson with whom I talked for half
an hour. His men spraying with hose
800 ft. long! Went then to Holden's Hill
Woods swimming with gyps & doomed.
Next to Blackman Ridge. It is stripped
bare nearly to ruin. Duren worked
all day spraying south side Ball's Hill.
Conditions very serious there now. Everything
stripped on north side & [base?]. Spent
whole afternoon there. As I left the cabin
at 6 P.M. heard 2 "Kickers" in marsh
across river, the first for number of years.
Walked home via Davis Hill where the 
gyps are working fully in big pines.
At Green Field heard a Hermit [hermit thrush] & found
80 [%] to 90 [%] of gyps dead or dying of [?].
It has started at Balls' Hill also.
[margin] Mr. Dexter came down this evening to talk about North (Conservation). [/margin]
