Tennesee Warblers. Fair
Sunny but densely hazy. Very
warm & rather humid. Light S.W [southwest] wind
  Soon after awakening I heard a
Mniotilta sing once & a Rose br. Grosbeak [Rose-breasted Grosbeak]
utter clicking note. At 7 A.M. saw
a Wilson's Black-cap in Forsythia
thicket front of house - a very
lively bird not well enough seen
for me to make out head marking.
  At 9 A.M we had a telephone call
from Henry Henshaw at Concord
R.R. station. Jim Melvin was
here with his car & took me up
to get Henry. Stopped at Sleepy
Hollow Cemetery on way back.
  In P.M., Gilbert motored Henry
& me to Cambridge (2.30-3.35).
Where we got Victrola & all the records.
Heard Tennessee Warbler chirping &
presently saw 2 birds of that species
together in run cherry by the Mus. [Museum]
gate. Henry thought he saw a third there
started back at 5.30 & reached
Farm about 6.35.

where 4 Redstarts (all in [female] pl [plumage]) a
D. virens, 2 Chickadees & a Canada
Nuthatch were flitting above near
together. Not far from them we
started an Oven bird.

Henry played. Met Billy Thayer

Ames & Suzy Thayer. More
Victrola music this evening.
