Fottler, Fiske & Rawsons where I saw

Tree Crickets. Fine
Very few birds. Maryland Yellow throat
heard & young Chestnut sided Warbler
seen, near hen house. Several Robins,
one or two Jays, a Flicker, a Downy [Downy Woodpecker]
& a Pheasant seen or heard near
house; crows cawing afar off.
Last night I heard Tree Crickets
here for first time this year. There
were not many & perhaps no
more than two - somewhere not
far from our house.
  Monson & Zeph came this morning.
I sent the former with Burbank,
to Acton Powder Mills for two boxes
of dynamite. They did not get back
until near noon. Worked through A.M.
with Zeph & in P.M. with both men,
cutting & burning brush between
Bungalow & old Barrett barn. Also
picked peaches & plums. Mrs. Melvin
called in P.M. bringing me a fine 
picture of Jim.
