Forenoon brilliantly clear. Clouds
gathering in afternoon as if for
another rain storm. Very warm all
day with light southwest wind.
  Writing letters all forenoon and
most of afternoon. They keep coming
in very unusual numbers, forcing
me to divert almost all my time
to answering them. As I worked 
at this task to-day the songs of
two Red-eyes [Red-eyed Vireo] came ceaselessly to
my ears. Every now & then I heard
a Solitary Vireo, or a Chippy [Chipping Sparrow], or an
Oven bird [ovenbird]. The Robins were severely
silent. The party of young Orioles kept
visiting the white mulberry tree. Its
fruit also attracts Vireos & Purple Finches
as well as a few Robins & Cedar birds.
  Went to pasture outlook at 5 P.M. &
thence wandered about finally visiting Rosseau.
Robins (3 [males]) & Wood Thrushes (3 [males]) now singing
freely for fully an hour. Hermit [Hermit Thrush] in full song
on ridge, Veery sang thrice in swamp.
Barred Owl called who-a once behind studio.
at 9 P.M. a Whippoorwill sang only one "whippoorwill"
Dan [Daniel Chester French] got back about 7 P.M.

Fine
Sunny but hazy. Clouds gathering in late P.M.
Warm with light S.W. wind.
  Robins and Wood Thrushes in full song
towards sunset, Red-eyes [Red-eyed Vireo] all day long.
For the past three nights Tree Toads have
sung ceaselessly after dark. Green Frogs
twanging in pool near Hawkin's house. Bull Frogs
bellowing afar off in river.
  Spent most of day in room writing
letters. Dan [Daniel Chester French] & I started for a walk at
5.30 P.M. We went to the little pond
hole behind the Hawkin's house.
Scattered along its overflowed margin
were rather many plants about 2 ft. tall
bearing attractive purple flowers somewhat
like blue bells & unfamiliar to me.
Some of the trees about this pool
especially red maples & white pines are
among the largest I have seen in Mass. [Massachusetts]
Dr. & Mrs. Lambert arrived from N.Y. [New York]
in time for dinner. We all spent evening
in parlor & on piazza.
