Ther. [Thermometer] SAT. [Saturday] SEPT. 3, 1910 [September 3, 1910] Wea. [Weather]
Mixed.
Early morning densely foggy.
Forenoon sunny but hazy.
Afternoon cloudy with heavy showers.
Raining in torrents 11 - 11.30 P.M.
Spent day near cabin & had a
busy time superintending the
work of six men, Bensen, Pat &
Harry in the old boat pit and
Michael Hopkins & two other masons
who began the new stone canoe
vault & finished the wall on our 
side of it. The boat pit proved
a difficult problem to tackle.
After we had the water pumped out
we found the bottom covered with
soft mud to a depth of a foot or more.
This has accumulated in three years.
We finally got it out & then dug
the pit deeper. Gilbert went to
Cambridge with some peaches for C. [Caroline Brewster]
In P.M. I took a walk to
Pine Ridge just after breakfast.
Saw a small mixed flock there.
[margin]Saw 2 Wood Ducks flying down river through fog at 7 A.M. They passed us
within 20 yds. [yards] low down. Could not see their coloring.[/margin]

Concord
Ther. [Thermometer] SUN. [Sunday] SEPT. 4, 1910 [September 4, 1910] Wea. [Weather]
Fine.
Clear with light westerly winds.
Oppressively warm & sultry.
  Spent forenoon at Ball's Hill
rambling about in woods & along river
path. Very few birds. A Chickadee
singing & a Red start flitting about.
A Red-eye sang in early morning.
  Went to Farm at 3 P.M. Hoped
to find a lot of Warblers in Birch Field
but there were none there nor indeed
anywhere except on Pine Ridge [?] I
saw several D. virens [Dendroica virens] in a flock of
Chickadees. Harry & James have seen
a large buck with fine horns repeatedly
of late near pond in Berry Pasture.
He has been eating sweet apples there
they say. I looked for him in vain
this evening. Came back at sunset
via Holden's Hill. No Blackbirds at
the lagoon.
