Fine
Sunny & rather warm with light
westerly wind.
 To Birch Field soon after breakfast
taking "Tim". He started a Partridge 
in the Run & I saw another there in the
cart road. Birches overhang it alive
with Warblers. Identified only three, a 
Mniotilta, a Black-poll [Blackpoll Warbler] & a Chestnut-sided [Chestnut-sided Warbler]
Went over same ground in P.M. (4-5)
without seeing anything but a Partridge.
Heard Bobolinks there, Barn Swallows
twice, Bank Swallows once, during day.
Not many birds about house. Solitary
Chippy [Chipping Sparrow] in orchard. Heard Catbird
in pasture. One or two Robins in
lane. Started Flicker at evening from
within old barn where he had probably 
gone to roost.
  Gilbert [Robert A. Gilbert] motored me to Hildreth's Corner
at 1 & returned for me at 3. Dined
with Charley [Charley Carter] & his wife. Jim Melvin
came down at 5 P.M. with two of
his [?] nephews & the wife of one.

Cape May Warbler. Perfect.
Clear, calm, rather warm & humid.
  Spent most of forenoon (7.30-11) in
Birch Field with Burbank digging around
some black spruces I intend to move soon.
In birches near them I had a clear
but not very near view of a silent, timid
Thrush with strangely spotted breast & buffy
eye ring. It was, I feel sure, a Swainsons [Swainson's Thrush].
In the same birches saw a Magnolia
Warbler [female] juv [juvenile], a Redstart in [female] pl. [plumage] & an ad. [adult]
[male] D. virens [Dendroica virens]. Heard a Canada Nuthatch there
& another near our farm house.
  Roaming about Farm most of afternoon.
At 4 P.M. saw 4 [in a flock] Nighthawks, migrating
S.W. [southwest] high in air; at 6 P.M. 5 [in a flock] Barn
Swallows heading same direction, equally high.
Just before sunset came on a [female] juv. [juvenile] (?)
Cape May Warbler in our Berry Pasture.
Stood within six feet of her for ten minutes.
She, all the while, fed busily among tips
of lateral sprays of small, isolated red cedar,
mostly about on level with my face,
sometimes two feet lower. By screwing my
opera glass hard down I could just focus her.
She seemed utterly fearless of me. Her plumage
exquisitely neat & fresh looking.
