36 degrees     Dull
Cloudy & cool with light S.W. [southwest] wind.
Spent most of forenoon roaming about
alone through grounds & orchard near

Warblers in blossoming apple trees. Among
them was the [female] Cape May [Cape May warbler] seen yesterday

a big bird [?] had been [?] here
by the cool cloudy weather. Found only
a few birds in woods near shack but 
passing in the [?] of house. A [male]
White-crowned Sparrow in full song in
