not many about. Near farm house
6 Robins, 2 Chippins [Chipping Sparrows], 2 Song Sparrows,

2 Vesper Sparrows, Meadow Lark [Meadowlark],
6 Tree Swallows. 2 Partridges drumming
almost ceaselessly in run, one near
road, the other at the old station
above Pulpit Rock. Also in the run,
at 4 P. M., I started a Broad-winged
Hawk from a tall Chestnut whence
it flew to a stub where I viewed it well.
It was a very small [male], looking, indeed,
scarce bigger than a Sharp-shin [Sharp-shinned hawk] yet
unmistakably a Broad Wing.
  A single Red Crossbill in pine woods.
  Spent day out of doors, mostly near
house superintending men. Harris & [?]
[?] laying drain, Burbank & Zeph
[?] rustic fruit [?]. George raking,
[?] & two men laying wall.
