Forenoon sunny; afternoon partly
cloudy. Very warm. Many trees,
including lindens & paper birches,
now covered with unfolding leaves.
  Garden birds. Robin [male female], a Hermit
Thrush, 3 Swamp Sparrows, several
House Sparrows & a Downy Woodpecker

  I was not a little surprised at
the occurrence of the Swamp
Sparrows at this time & place.
They spent entire day within
a few yards of my Museum window
feeding in a flower bed that it
overlooks, retreating into rhododendron
thicket when disturbed. One fearless
the other rather timid. Former brown
capped bird.
