Concord (Farm & Dr. Emerson's)
Ther [Thermometer] Sunday, May 30, 1915 Wea [Weather] 
Fine
Clear & pleasantly warm with
light westerly wind.
  No north bound migrants.
Local birds apparently all here &
settled for season, for the most
part in normal numbers & 
variety. Wilson's Thrushes, however,
seem to have totally disappeared.
  Shortly after breakfast I went
with Burbank to all the recently
grafted apple trees to spray the
tender young leaves on the grafts.
These are especially sought by
Gypsy & other caterpillars.
After that rambled through woods
to Birch Field looking for badly
infested foliage. Returning to house
wrote letters for two hours.
Motored to Cd. [Concord] at 1 to dine at
the Emersons' with Mr. & Mrs. at
1.30. Stayed until 3.30. Mrs.
Geo. Keyes, Marion Keyes & John
Gilmore came while I was there.
Back to Farm by 4. Rambled about
until 7 watering plants etc.

Concord (Farm)
Ther [Thermometer] Monday, May 31, 1915 Wea [Weather] 
 Fine.
Brilliantly clear & delightfully warm
with light easterly breeze.
Buttercups in full bloom. Dandelions
gone to seed. Irises beginning to bloom.
  Nighthawk peeping at evening. No
other north-bound migrant noted.
Local birds as for past few days.
Chippy's [Chipping Sparrow] nest 4 eggs. Yellow Warbler's, 2 eggs.
Swift breaking dead twigs off elm.
Blue Jays venturing nearer & nearer
house in quest of birds' eggs, uttering
the low chuckling notes peculiar to
such times of raiding. Two irate Robins
drove 4 of them from our orchard
early this morning. I know of at least
4 Robin's nests plundered of late presumably
by Jays, three outlying, one in orchard.
  Heard Red Squirrel in run near front of lane.
The half grown wild Rabbit came out at
evening as usual to frisk in our door yard.
  Spraying all day, big elms near house
in A.M., oaks in row near Cedar Park
& elsewhere in P.M. Burbank & I worked
the tub outfit, George & Mollers the power 
engine.
