First Tree Sparrow & [Shrikes?]       Perfect
3 Hudsonian Tits [3 Hudsonian titlarks in a flock] again
  Cloudless, windless & very warm,
from sunrise to sunset. A summerlike
or Indian-Summerslike day.
Lots of birds about the place &
heavy flights of obviously migrating
Crown & Crow Blackbirds passing
over it southward or rather S.W. [southwest].
The Crows to the number of at least
150 (roughly counted them) began to
appear at 9 A.M. & in straggling order
but all following same line of flight were 
passing for several minutes the whole
body of birds extending more than a 
mile in length. They flew high & in 
perfect silence an impressive procession.
  One flock of Blackbirds passed at 8 A.M.
the other at 4 P.M., both passing low over our
orchard just to eastward of the barn (taking
exactly same corner) & each containing about
300 birds (estimated). Heard the 
Hudsonian Tits [Hudsonian Titlarks] repeatedly at intervals & at
2 P.M. saw all three of them fly into
our big elm. At 8 A.M. saw two
Shrikes flying together very high, S.E.
apparently [?] [?] & heard one [?] the
empty huge elm. First Tree Sparrow.

Zeph, George & Bensen
who cut & dug into a lot of trees & [brush?]. [/margin]
