  Spent day at Ball's Hill

Black-poll Warblers & one of 5 
Chickadees came about the cabin
just after breakfast. After the

Before breakfast a Phoebee [phoebe] and
a Song Sparrow sang fairly well.

35 [degrees] Fine
Sunny & cool with fresh N.E. [Northeast] wind
The rain and wind of yesterday has
brought down most of the ripened leaves
and many of the trees are bare while
few show brilliant coloring.
  Purdie and I went to the Farm
in forenoon and had a feast of
grapes there. There were many birds
about the house & on the Ritchie place
most of them White-throats & Chippies,
but among them a Cat-bird & a Towhee.
A Solitary Vireo was singing freely in
the run, a Song Sparrow in the forsythia
bushes. Heard 2 Ruby-crown Kinglets.
At Ball's Hill saw a [male adult] ad. Marsh hawk
& a Kingfisher & 11 [in a flock] Juncos. Larry started
a Pheasant at sunset in Pine Park.
It made a great racket of wings & voice.
Harry & James worked all day on door
of canoe vault.
