90 [degrees] max. [maximum] "Kicker" heard again. Fine
  Clear & uncommonly hot for this Cape
despite fresh southerly wind.
  In early morning Pine Warblers,
Chickadees, and Wood Pewees sang freely
& delightfully in pine woods close about
house. There were also loud cawing Crows
and shrill-screaming Jays and rattling
Kingfishers - besides a Red-eyed Vireo uttering
a few disconnected notes every now & then.
Many Terns flying over harbor mouth
but only one seen to pass our house.
As I was lying wide-awake in bed
about 11 P.M. the shrill, falsetto, squaling
"crow" of a "Kicker" came suddenly &
very distinctly to my ears, evidently from
somewhere at or near the margin of the
deep tidal channel directly in front of house
& those narrowly fringed by salt marsh,
covered with uncut grass. The cry was
given only once & lacked the usual
preliminary kik-kiks being simple
hi-kick (a queet). Being here strongly
salt the waters of this channel are
unknown to ever harbor Frogs of any kind.
  Spent A.M. in house. Out sailing in
P.M. - going outside harbor & all about
inner bay.

Fine
Clear, hot & humid. Light southerly
breeze freshening for a time in mid
P.M.
 Again a delightful if somewhat
meagre & intermittent early morning
concert of bird voices intermingling 
pleasingly with the soughing of wind
in pitch pine tops just outside my
open window. Most of the birds there
heard were Wood Pewees and Pine
Warblers, both apparently numerous
and widespread. The Red-eyed Vireos
were again almost silent. A Song
Sparrow occasionally sang well and
Chickadees called phe-bee rather freely.
During a woodland walk we heard a
Catbird, started a Partridge & saw a 
Red-shouldered Hawk on wing & very near.
At evening Great Blue Herons, at least
3 or 4 in number, kept flying to & fro low
over the channel, alighting at its grassy
edge where I saw a Green Heron also.
A few Terns passed in or out during day.
  Almy & I took short wetland walk in
A.M. In P.M. we had a delightful sail with
Helen & Miss Smith. Almy took evening train
to Boston leaving me here.
