Dan, Dick & I sat by fire in

Ball's Hill & back via Holden Hill
Jim Melvin came at 1.30 & took
Dan to Sleepy Hollow bringing him
back at 3.30 when Dan, Dick &
I started for [Green?] Hill. Soon
after reaching there we saw a Shrike
in close pursuit of a Warbler that
looked & chirped like a Pine Warbler.
We thought it escaped among the pines -
Instead after sunset we saw a big
Buteo that looked as black as a Crow
against the rosy western sky as it
flew from an oak flapping slowly
like a Red tail which I think it was

Gilbert [Robert Alexander Gilbert] motoring them to Concord.
I spent most of day near the
southern end of our Berry Pasture
where Burbank, Zeph & George cut
down a lot of small trees &
"swamped" out a new roadway through
the blueberry bushes & alders.
Chickadees & Pine Linnets came
about us. I flushed a Partridge
within 30 yards of where Zeph had
been felling birches for half an hour.
  In late P.M. I had Zeph & George
cut down two of our largest elms
standing just to west of house.
At sunset I walked through Birch
Field to Bensen's. At noon a hound 
chased a deer past the house.
