Ther [Thermometer] Tuesday, May 23, 1916  Wea [Weather] Rainy.
Weasel again
  Dark-cloudy with fresh S.W. [southwest] wind
and almost ceaseless fine rain which
began falling sometime last night.
  No north-bound migrants noted
but two apparently new arrivals at
the Farm, a Yellow-throated Vireo singing
near the house & a Red Start [Redstart] in run
near foot of Lane. Thrasher in full
song all day in Cedar Park & Towhee
in Birch Field. Robins in full
chorus in late P.M. Screech Owl
looking out E. [east] end of barn 8 A.M.
At least 3, & I think 4, pairs of
Tree Swallows nesting in my boxes;
but only one pair of Wrens & one of
bluebirds. Of Cat birds [Catbirds] we have now
at least five pairs, one behind house,
one near poultry yard, one at S.[south] end of
Cow pasture, one in Berry Pasture, one at
Ritchie place.
  Spent most of day transplanting things.
Walked to Birch Field & Ritchie place with
"Timmy" [Brewster's dog] at 8 A.M. & 4 P.M.
Zeph & Monson did not appear.

At noon saw the Weasel dash across lawn from bird bath to Forsythias

Concord (Farm)
Ther [Thermometer] Wednesday, May 24, 1916 Wea [Weather] Fine
North-bound migration ended?
Clear, calm, warm. Light easterly
wind with gathering clouds, in late P.M.
Many apple trees still glorious to behold,
others shedding their petals fast.
Cherry & peach trees wholly out of bloom.
A few Hylas peeping & Toads trilling.
  No fresh arrivals. Only obvious north
bound migrant an Usnea Warbler singing
in run. Local birds of almost every
kind in full & glorious song all day
long, flooding the still air with
unending, delightful music. Among
them all a Thrasher, a Tanager, a
Yellow-throated Vireo & 2 Grosbeaks
were most vociferous & persistent.
A Veery sang a little, haltingly, at
evening in our Berry Pasture. The 
Screech Owl was looking out at E. [east] end
of barn at 8 A.M. & later perched on
rafter inside.
  Spent most of day working in flower beds
with George. Walked to Birch Field with
Timmy just after breakfast. In mid P.M.
he killed unaided & very quickly, a large
nesting [female] Woodchuck, in oak row near orchard.
