Cambridge to Carlisle. - by the old turnpike.
  Three Prairie Warblers were heard during the
passage through Prospect Street; a White-eyed
Vireo (the first I have met this season) in
the thicket at the east end of the Willows on
the north side of the road; a Red-tailed Hawk
near the larch swamp in Lincoln, a Golden-wing
Warbler in oak sprouts on the hill beyond this
swamp and two or three Indigo Birds at
different places in Belmont. Cat Birds, King birds,
Grosbeaks, Orioles, Warbling Vireos and Least
Flycatchers were very numerous everywhere. I
heard three Tanagers, two Towhees, two Bluebirds
and at least eight or ten Thrushes singing but
only one Wood Pewee and but one Grass Finch.
Not a single Bobolink seen or heard until
just before I reached the larch swamp; they
were numerous in Concord and Carlisle. One
Yellow-billed and two or three Black-billed Cuckoos
heard. No Yellow-winged Sparrows and no Henslow's 
Bunting s although I entered and carefully beat
the meadow in Lincoln where Botch[?] and I
killed a pair of the latter species a few years
ago. King-Birds very numerous. One Night Hawk
flying about in the usual aimless manner at 
high noon over the fields in Carlisle.
  We lunched in a shady hollow by a brook
near Deacon Farrae's.  Many common birds about
us, a Oriole in a maple, Cat Birds in the
thickets, a Thrasher in full song in the top of an
elm, Yellow & Chestnut-sided Warblers, Song Sparrows,
