Stormy
N.E. rain storm with moderate
but steady downpour and not
very heavy but chilly wind.
  It will pass, no doubt, for [?]
"line storm".
  Just as the rain began, above
8 A.M., Gilbert [Robert Alexander Gilbert] + I hurried
to the peach orchard where
we found the ground covered in
places with big Crawfords. After
picking up the best of these we
got nearly a bushel more from
two trees, leaving more or less not
quite ripe fruit to hang still longer.
  Spent most of day in house
rearranging things with Gilbert's
+ Zeph's help. I told Zeph on
evening of 17th that Burbank is to
take his place next month. He
said he was glad as the work is
too hard for him.

  A mixed flock of fully 30 Warblers
close about house 7.30-8 a.m. They

positively. The majority were
evidently Black polls [Blackpoll warblers] + Yellow-rumps [Yellow-rumped warblers].
Besides these there were one or two
Usnia [Usnea] warblers, a [male] juv. [juvenile] Mniotilta [Black-and-white warbler]
& an exquisitely beautiful [female] Cape May [Cape May warbler].
The last named I saw first in a 
little apple tree (the "Wealthy') in our
garden & later in a small oak in
the lane. On both occasions I watched
it for several minutes through my glass
at distances of only 12 to 20 feet. It
was very yellowish beneath with light
dusky streaks on breast & side. Its
upper parts were plain [olivacious?] [olivaceous?] brown,
its rump dusky olive yellow. It was
exceedingly trim & graceful of [?]
