Spent day at Ball's Hill.
Duren & his man "Eph." with [one?]
Pat, spraying with 1-6 solution
of arsenate of lead near its
wood shed in Pine Park along
the South Side of Ball's Hill
& elsewhere. I was with them all A.M.
  Walter Faxon & Dr. Tyler arrived by
train at 2.35. I met them at 
station. We walked to Davis Hill
Gram Field & Birch Island woods
before supper. After it we went up 
river in big boat. Heard a Marsh wren
chattering at rapids. No sound of Kicker
until about 8 P.M. when one began
calling near our boat canal. Soon
after this others joined in. In all we
heard at least 5 or 6 over on Balls
Hill [?] near boat pit. Heard a 
Bull Frog (?) with a [?] -like voice.
I got back to Farm at 10.30.
Concord
Ther.[Thermometer]   SUN. JUNE 26, 1910 [Sunday, June 26, 1910] Wea. [Weather]
Clear & warm with light W. [west] wind.
A perfect June day. With the 
birds singing gloriously from
daylight to dark despite the 
fact that it is getting late in
the season for them to be at their
best as they seem to be still.
Nowhere that I go, or ever have been 
in Massachusetts, is so favored by
them as is this farm, this year.
The trees close about the house, the 
orchard, the road edges & the
shrubbery in the garden are alive
with them & almost every tree has
one or various nests. It is like living
in an aviary.
Spent most of day in house writing.
Melvin called at 11 & stayed on hand.
I walked through Berry Pasture with
Larry, after breakfast. Wild roses &
white [?] in full bloom & from[?]
3 whole lilies in bloom in pond.
