Birds singing freely all forenoon.
White-crowned Sparrow spent day
at seed bed or in Forsythia thicket
with 10 Peabody Birds & 3 [females] Juncos.
He sang at frequent intervals &
almost incessantly 7-8 A.M. 5-5.30
P.M. Today there were usually
five or six notes at each utterance,
all of surpassing sweetness. The
song was so loud that I heard it
150 or more yards away. It was
delightfully sweet & plaintive & not
closely like anything else, I thought.
It impressed me deeply - a rare melody. 
  Spent most of day about Farm
working with the men & doing a 
good deal of pruning etc. Jim M.
called for me at 10 & motored
me to Sleepy Hollow Cemetery
to see his wall etc.
