Fair
Forenoon sunny; afternoon cloudy.
Chill N.E. [northeast] wind blowing all day.
  Few birds seen or heard. One
or two Robins singing at morn & 
eve, a Bluebird & Chippy [Chipping Sparrow] in forenoon.
Song Sparrows silent. Several
Juncos the only north-bound
migrants. Partridge drummed
twice about 3 P.M. at time honored
station on wall foot of run.
At 5 P.M. I heard indistinctly
what sounded like the hooting
of a Barred Owl in pines near
Pulpit Rock but it may have 
been the tooting of a steam
locomotive that came more
plainly later from same direction.
  Spent forenoon transplanting
barberry bushes with Burbank
& George, in afternoon set out
a lot of "grave yard" pinks
with Burbank. Walked to 
Birch Field with "Tim" at 5 P.M.
