Cambridge - Wolfeboro
Ther. [Thermometer] Thursday, June 17, 1915 Wea [Weather]
Stormy
Cloudy with several heavy showers.
  Left Boston for Wolfeboro at 8.55 A.M. Miss
Walker & niece on train. Talked with
them part of way. Looked in vain
for signs of gypsy & brown tail ravages.
The foliage of oaks & orchard trees seemed
everywhere unscathed by them - in
marked contrast with conditions at this
season in former years. Saw very few
birds - among them a Green Heron.
  Reached Wolfeboro about 12.50
Haley met me at Station & took me
to his house. We walked about
Academy grounds & to lake shore, after
dinner. Birds literally swarming everywhere.
Village street trees alive with them.
I saw & heard many more than at
any previous time for over twenty years.
House Sparrows seemed comparatively 
scarce. Lots of Martins & Swifts.
No Cliff Swallows nesting in Academy
building but one flying over lake.
Spent evening in parlor, talking.

Clear & moderately warm with light W. [west] wind.
  Strolling up village street after breakfast I
heard a delightful concert of bird voices,
reminding me of conditions in Cambridge fifty
years ago. There were Robins, a Bluebird, at least
three Warbling [Warbling Vireo], two Yellow-throated [Yellow-throated Vireo] & one Red-eyed Vireo,
two Yellow Warblers, two Orioles, a Wood Pewee
one or two Least Pewees, Chippies [Chipping Sparrow] etc. Further
off towards the lake shore or distant wood edges
Bobolinks, Peabody birds & Song Sparrows were
singing. Martins, Swallows (Tree [Tree Swallow] & Barn [Barn Swallow]) &
Swifts constantly in sight gliding hither &
thither. Big colony of Martins in two
houses on Mr. Martin's farm.
To Academy at 9 A.M. Brief devotional
exercise & address. Miss Adams, about to 
leave us, presented with $10 gold pin by pupils
Next walked about grounds with Haley.
Then to Judy Abbott's. Dr. Scott there.

served by pupils in Brown dormitory 5-6.30
Graduating excercises 8-10. Adjoined Trustees
