singing far & near delightfully
Never before have I heard anything
like so many there. The song of
a Hermit [Hermit Thrush] floated down from the
ridge above & that of a Veery &
a Peabody bird rose from the
swamp below. Robins sang incessantly.
Close about us in hemlock thickets
sang Blackburnian [Blackburnian Warbler], Black thr. Green [Black-throated Green Warbler]
& Magnolia Warblers. There are
also more birds than usual close 
about the house, among them
Robins, Phoebe, Wood Thrushes (2)

Fine
Clear, warm & humid with light
southerly wind.
  Spent most of forenoon in
my room writing letters. With Dan [Daniel Chester French]
& Mrs. French motored at 1 P.M.
to Stockbridge where we dined
with Mr. & Mrs. Crowninshield, their
son, Mr. Harris and Mrs.
Montgomery Sears whom I have not
seen before since she was Sadie Choate
& lived next us in Cambridge. We
had a good talk about those early
days. She is still a handsome woman
with no trace of gray in her abundant
hair. Birds of various kinds singing
everywhere about the house & in
the village. After our return to
Chesterwood Dan & I walked around
the western side of his ridge.
We were treated there to a glorious
concert of Wood Thrushes, hearing
no less than four of them at once.
