about a dosen [dozen] each on grape
laden trees over lane. A pair
of young Sphyrapicans digging wells
in the orchard on the trunk of 
an apple tree plentifully encircled
with fresh ones.  When not thus
engaged they were constantly
quarreling, it seemed, chasing one
another about, coming close together
with threatening gestures & uttering
the loud [?] cry.  Spent
most of the day in Pulpit Rock woods
where Zeph, Tom & George worked on 
the road. Henry practised golf shots
