Fine
Clear & just comfortably warm
with light southerly winds.
  Local birds in usual number &
variety as per past few days. 10
White-throated Sparrows at seed bed
front of house but White-crown absent.
No other north-bound migrants.
Where are they? Warblers of various
kinds should be passing numerously now.
Applet trees blooming freely but no
Warblers in them. No flight of
migrants for several days past,
apparently. The grand May rush must
be still to come. Where are Redstarts, 
Red-eyed Vireos etc? Chestnut-sided
Warblers still scarce. Also Ovenbirds,
Maryland Yellow-throats. Good
chorus of bird song in forenoon.
Thrasher singing superbly near hen yard.
  Eddy Flannery & 2 men & horses
worked all day moving 2 red pines
for me. I was with them most of time.
To Sleepy Hollow with Jim M.
just before noon.
