Ther [Thermometer] Tuesday, June 6, 1916  Wea [Weather] Mixed.
Night hawk.
Again a sunny morning with gathering
clouds before noon & heavy thunder shower
in mid P.M. Calm all day & warm.
  No north-bound migrants unless a
Night-hawk was one. I saw & heard him
at evening mounting & circling at great height
over Birch Field, occasionally pitching straight
down on set wings as if to boom but making
no sound [all] the while. Robins & Cat birds [catbirds]
everywhere about the place. At least 8
pairs of former & 6 or 7 of latter (saw
at least 6 birds in Berry Pasture). 
Hermit [Hermit thrush] singing in Birch Field and a
Wren [singing] at Ritchie's place (besides bird at
Farm.) In a Chippy's [chipping sparrow's] nest in cedar in lane
found a single egg with a small hole
pecked in one side but contents not
removed. This, I fear, is our Wren's work
[male] Owl looking out W. [west] end of barn 7 P.M.
Two Calosoma beetles in glass jar ate 30
Gypsy larvae in 15 minutes yesterday.
  Spraying along S. [south] side of Run all A.M.
Quiet at noon. Strolling through Berry Pasture
Pulpit R[Pulpit Rock] woods & Birch Field 5-7 P.M.

Ther [Thermometer] Wednesday, June 7, 1916 Wea [Weather] Dull.
Call on Dr. Cheeney at Concord.
 Cloudy for most part with light, cool
easterly wind. Distant thunder at noon.
  Local birds in normal numbers singing
freely all day long. Two [male] Wrens, one front
of house, other at Bungalow. Indigo bird [Indigo bunting]
flooding air with his delightful chanting all
day long, over lawn. Hermit Thrush, with fine
clear voice, singing all day in Birch Field.
A Towhee, Thrasher, Nashville Warbler & Indigo
bird in same locality. In Pulpit Rock woods
2 [male] Blackburnians [2 male Blackburnian warblers] [in full song], [2 male] Dendroica virens, [1 male] Pine
Warbler. Wood Pewee & Tanager on borders
of the woods & Birch Field. Within short
ear range of our house heard Chestnut sided [Chestnut-sided Warbler]
& Yellow Warbler, Maryland Yellow-throat, 
Song Sparrow, Black bill Cuckoo [Black-billed Cuckoo], Bobolink etc.
  Spent most of day in Birch Field &
Pulpit Rock woods with Zeph & George.
We cut brush in forenoon & sprayed this
& standing brush in afternoon, using our
small hand pump. At 6 P.M. motored to
Concord to see Dr. Cheeney. He thinks C's [Caroline Brewster]
eyesight will probably not deteriorate further
at least for several years.
