A flock of 32 Geese passed over
very high flying S.W. [Southwest] at 3 P.M. They
were seen by Gilbert, Harry & Zeph.
I saw very few small birds. Purdie
met with a dozen or more Yellow [?]
& a Solitary Vireo in the larches.
  Spent day working in the 
woods near Bensen's Knoll with
Duren's man Zeph who cut down
a lot of trees. Pat & Henry were
getting out muck fr. [from] pond hole. 
Purdie & I paddled up river at

Sky obscured by thin clouds through

Forenoon cool. Afternoon oppressively warm

  Spent day behind Ball's Hill
where we cut down great numbers

finest ones. Bensen & Duren's men
worked there all day & I had
James & Harry with them in the

after breakfast I started six Fox
Sparrows from a brush pile. Near
it in same birch were five Yellow rumps,
& several Chickadees. I heard a Nuthatch,
too. Pat worked on much all day.
He started a Pheasant on Bensen's
Knoll. Purdie & I took several short
walks. At evening we went to Pine Park.
