First Starling in our grounds Fine
  Sunny but somewhat hazy. Cool with
fresh easterly wind.
  [female] Starling feeding on lawn front of house.
In Garden: 2 ad. [adult] Robins (one in full,
earnest song most of afternoon), Redstart [in full song],
House Sparrows, Blue Jay (heard), 4 Swifts
careering about together at sunset,
Night hawk heard shortly after sunset,
rather distant, towards Harvard Square;
peeped eight or ten times & boomed
once I thought but was not sure.
During much of forenoon & afternoon no
birds could be heard singing in or near
our place. Never before has it seemed quite
so barren of bird life. Even the Red-eyed
Vireo has deserted us.
  Two boys, Teddy Eliot & Thompson, who
called to see me in late P.M., report Red eyes [Red-eyed Vireo]
& a Chippy [Chipping Sparrow] singing near Kennedy's, Highland St.,
and a Warbling Vireo in Lake View Ave. They
took a [male] Mourning Warbler from a cat in
Kennedy Ave. last Tuesday (June 1) & Harry
Spelman skinned it for them.
  Had planned to start for Washington at
3 P.M. to-day via New York to night but
gave up trip this morn because of sharp
attack of bladder trouble. Spent day in 
Museum writing letters & cheques.

Dismally cloudy with chill easterly wind

  In Garden - A Robin singing freely, an

  Spent day in Museum working
on Concord notes, putting new sheets
into my field books etc, copying
arrival notes to be read at Nuttall
Club meeting to-morrow evening.
  Winthrop Scudder called in forenoon
to talk over Geo. Jefferson's letters
intended for publication. He will
try to have them accepted by the
Atlantic Monthly or Mc.Clure's [McClure's Magazine].
  Miss Allyn dined with us.
We had Victrola music afterwards
& again this evening. I have just
got half a dozen new records from
the Victor May & June issue. They
are very beautiful. Tried about a
dozen Columbia ones to [too] shall take
only [?] of these.
