Shad bush & cherry trees in fullest bloom.
Only a few apple blossoms as yet.

Orange-crown Warbler [Orange-crowned Warbler], tame silent (save for
occasional chirping), dull-colored bird,
apparently [female], in grape vines & also in
hickory, near poultry yard, 6.30 A.M.
Black-throated Blue Warbler [in full song] & Red eyed
Vireo [in full song] near Pulpit Rock; White crowned
Sparrow, 2 adult[s] first seen at 7 A.M., on
ground in front of house; followed to
lane where one sang many times - a
sweet, plaintive song. When I imitated this
the bird would often answer at once.
2 Cedar birds [Cedar Waxwings] in blossoming apple trees.
Small flock of Warblers near Pulpit Rock
included a Magnolia [Magnolia Warbler], Usnea [Usnea Warbler], Nashville [Nashville Warbler],
Oven birds [Ovenbirds] etc.

Concord (Farm & Emerson place).
Ther [Thermometer] Sunday, May 14, 1916  Wea [Weather]
Fine.
  Clear & cool with light northerly wind.
Clouds gathering at sunset.
  No fresh arrivals noted. Mixed flock
of north-bound migrant Warblers, a dozen
or more in numbers, in or near run not far
from Pulpit Rock; among them 2 Usnea [2 Usnea Warblers],
2 Black-throated Blue [2 Black-throated Blue Warblers], one Magnolia [Magnolia Warbler], one
Blackburnian [Blackburnian Warbler], several Nashvilles [Nashville Warbler].
  A White-crowned Sparrow haunting lane
& singing every now & then all day. His
song reminded me in quality of that of
the Meadow Lark [Meadowlark]. It was very sweet &
plaintive with little or no resemblance to
that of Peabody bird.
  Timmy & I started for a long walk just
after breakfast but had gone no further 
than Pulpit Rock when two strokes on the
ship bell recalled me to the house where I
found Faxon & Mr. & Mrs.[Blin?]. They stayed
upwards of an hour. At 1.15 P.M. I
motored to Concord to dine with the
Emersons (Mr. & Mrs. & Ellen). Returned at 3.30
Harry & Alice Bartlett arrived at 4 & stayed
until 6.
