Fine
Clear with strong S.W. [southwest] wind.
  Much warmer.
  Ruby-crown Kinglet [Ruby-crowned Kinglet] singing
delightfully in lane at 7.30 A.M.
Rather more than an hour later 
I was standing in front of farm
with Pat when the faint honking
of Geese came to my ears. The next
instant we saw the flock, about
40 strong, flying N.E. [northeast] over Birch
Field so uncommonly low that
the tops of intervening pines near
Pulpit Rock partly intercepted our
view of the birds. The cock Pheasant
paraded several times in front of
house. Almost no birds singing
save the Kinglet & 2 Song Sparrows.
An idle day for me. The men at
various tasks. I was with them 
in A.M. but did nothing although
my pains were less than yesterday.
