Dull.
Cloudy with light easterly wind
and a sprinkle of rain drops
every now & then.
  Very few birds seen or heard.
A Cat bird mewing behind barn &
another in Berry Pasture, a Cedar bird
flying in company with two Robins, 
a Song Sparrow & a House Wren
in the lane, two or three Crows &
Jays and a Partridge flushed
by "Tim" in Berry Pasture were
about all I noted. Oh! There were
also a family party of Goldfinches
among wild sunflower beds & one,
an adult male, sang well but briefly.
  Had a long strenuous day with
the peaches - white ones mostly. Picked
& packed many basketfulls, some
sent to Davis for sale, others to various
friends including Dan French, Alice Stone,
Sted Buttrick, Mrs. Melvin, Sarah Ames, 
Adam [?]. Walked thr [through] Berry Pa [Berry Pasture]
with little Tim in late P.M.

Cloudless, hot & humid
with light S.W. [southwest] wind. With respect
to combined heat and sultriness perhaps
the most trying day of the past
three months. Evening comfortably cool,
however, I slept under light blanket
all night.
  Desperately few birds. Indeed I
noted almost nothing save Crows, Jays, 
3 Song Sparrows & as many Chippies [Chipping Sparrow]
near house, several Goldfinches at the
sunflowers, a Nuthatch of both species
in our door yard elms, a Swainson's
Thrush calling peenk at evening
in the Run.
  Spent most of day in house
writing letters. Gilbert went to
Cambridge with peaches. Mrs B.
got my dinner. Telegram from
Henry Henshaw in forenoon say he was
coming from Bethel. He arrived at station
about 5 when I motored there to get him.
Talking & Victrola music in evening.
