1891.
June 3
Mass.
North Truro. - Early morning clear and warm.
At 7 o'clock the wind started from the east
bringing clouds and a dense fog. 
  A single Black-poll singing near the house 
at sunrise. The Wood Pewee silent but seen
in the orchard, the Nonpareil gone. As we
were at breakfast an Orchard Oriole came 
into the poplar which contains the nest
of green grass and sang four or five times
uttering the Blackbird-like cluck in the 
intervals between the songs. I did not go out
at once as I should have done and he
soon became silent and was not afterwards
seen or heard. 
  After breakfast I examined the trees about the
house and found a Crow Blackbird's nest in
the top of one of the apple trees and another 
high in a poplar. The birds are constantly
flying about and alighting in the trees.
I next climbed the hill behind the barn
and took a short walk over the pastures.
The turf was close-cropped by cattle & as green
as possible everywhere. Only a few small
bunches of Hudsonia were in sight and I 
heard but one Grass Finch. 
  Miller who had started for Provincetown
in the milk wagon at 5 o'clock returned at 
8. He reported hearing a Red-eyed Vireo
singing in Provincetown and seeing six
Eider Duck in the bay very near shore, one 
bird a fine drake. he also saw a large Seal.
