Early morning cloudy with light rain.
Forenoon sunny & warm. Afternoon
cloudy with chill east wind. Thunder

  Starting at 11 A.M. Purdie & I
crossed the river & walked up the 
railroad to the place where the
Blazing Star grows. We found it much
more abundant than ever before & I
took a number of plants & a pint or
more of seed to introduce into Pine
Park after dinner. While we were there
Sted. Buttrick came in his auto. At
4 P.M. we started down river in the
canoes going as far as Birch Island.
It was cloudy & the scenery looked dark
& dreary. A fine cock Pheasant flew
across the river passing within 20 yds [yards].
Heard another cackling loudly. Only
a few small birds to-day.

Concord
Ther. [Thermometer] Mon. [Monday] Oct.10, 1910 [October10, 1910] Wea. [Weather]
Fine.
Brilliantly clear and very cool
with strong N.W. [northwest] wind.
  Spent most of day at Ball's Hill.
Mr. Dexter came down in forenoon
& lunched with us. He & Purdie [Henry A. Purdie] took
a walk to Davis Hill seeing what
they took to be a Connecticut Warbler there.
They also saw 2 Yellow Palm Warblers.
This was before lunch. Just after it
I went with them to the place where
they saw the Connecticut to look for it
but we failed to find it. Dexter brought
me four young Horn Pouts & four
Darters. He finds numbers of the latter
in the Sudbury [Sudbury River] in Concord village.
At 5 P.M. Purdie & I went to 
Holden's Hill. We started no less 
than five Partridges there. Two of them
flew from trees 40 ft. [feet] up, one from an
oak, the others from a maple.
