Ther. [thermometer] SAT. [Saturday] AUG. 20, 1910 [August 20, 1910] Wea. [weather] 
Sparrow Hawks (Camb [Cambridge]) Upland Plovers (cd [Concord]) Fine.
Brilliantly clear & pleasantly cool
with light easterly winds. A perfect day.
C. [Caroline Brewster] & I worked all the forenoon in
Museum, chiefly on Bitten article.
She had Dr. Coggswell come to take out
a splinter that she got in her hand
yesterday. After luncheon on back 
piazza I had Irving drive me to
N. Cambridge where I took 2.08 train
for W. Bedford [West Bedford]. After reaching cabin I 
had a sail on the river & after supper
a walk to Pine Ridge & back via Pine Park.
Just as it was getting dark I heard an
Upland Plover call ten or twelve times.
It was flying over Great Meadow apparently
high in air & towards the S.W. [southwest] a little 
later I heard a Night Heron taking nearly
the same course. Just before sunset saw
about 35 Swifts, a few Barn Swallows, a
flock of 45 Bobolinks & a flock of about 30
Cow-birds, all flying over river near B.H. [Ball's Hill]
at 8 o'clock this morning I saw no less than
3 Sparrow Hawks soaring in company in small
circles about 20 ft. above the Garden.
Concord.
Ther. [Thermometer] SUN. [Sunday] AUG. 21, 1910 [August 21, 1910] Wea. [Weather]
Fine
Brilliantly clear with light S.W. [southwest] wind
Warmer than yesterday but not oppressive.
Spent entire forenoon rambling through 
woods on & near Ball's Hill. A very large
mixed flock in the maple swamp at rear
of hill. The birds kept high in the trees & I 
identified only a few of them, including
D. virens [Dendroica virens], D. pen. [Dendroica pensylvanica] D. pinus [Dendroica pinus], Setophaga, Vireo
Solitarius, Mniotilta. Red-eyed Vireos in
nearly full song all forenoon. Heard a 
Maryland yellow-throat, a Mniotilta & a Flicker
each sing once. Saw a large Cooper's Hawk
twice, over near Cabin, once behind hill,
both times perched, low down.
Went to Farm in P.M. Wood Pewee gave
full song once in elms. No other bird song.
Lots of fine apples ripe - Williams, Strawberry
Astrachan, Gravenstein. Also plums. Fllower
garden ablaze with color chiefly of [?], Pinks
& Zinnia. Only a small pool of water left in
pond. Hundreds of Cardinal Flowers there.
Jim Melvin came & spent an hour. Came back
to cabin after sunset via Holden's Hill.
