Yellow-bill Cuckoo. Fair
  Partly sunny but mostly thin cloudy &
very hazy. Uncomfortably warm & sultry with
little or no wind.
  Awakening soon after daybreak I listened
intently for several minutes without hearing a
bird of any kind. Presently two Robins began
singing and kept it up almost ceaselessly
until past 8 A.M. Both had exceptionally
clear, strong voices and sang with unusual 
earnestness and feeling. Never before have I
been more deeply impressed by the exquisite 
purity and serenity of their delightful music.
There were also Red-eyes [Red-eyed Vireo] & Chippies [Chipping Sparrow] joining in
every now & then but only listlessly. Hermit [Hermit Thrush]
singing well on mountain ridge at sunset.
Yellow-billed Cuckoo singing (long series
of notes given only once) at 11 P.M. in
poplars near studio. Field Sparrow
sang twice in late P.M.
  Packed trunks in forenoon. Spent
most of afternoon on piazza. Lukeman
called. Dan [degrees] & I walked to Mc.Intosh's 6-7 P.M. 
Mr. & Mrs. [?] dined with us at 7.30.
  Spent evening in or near studio listening to
rare violin playing by Miss Miller.
