1893
March 18
Cambridge, Mass.
Morning walk to Fresh P. Grove.
Clear with brisk N. W. wind. Ther. 28[degrees] at 8 A.M.
  By horse car to Fresh Pond Lane at 8.30 A.M.
Walked over precisely the same ground covered
yesterday but although the morning was much
pleasanter I saw fewer birds. There was perhaps too
much wind for them.
  At least a dozen Crows were collected in the
Hemlock Grove. I started one pair from the same
tree where I saw a pair yesterday. The others were,
I think, migrants resting between the stages of their 
journey northward. These birds were so tame as to 
allow me to walk directly under them as they sat
among the upper branches of a great oak but when
I levelled my glass at them they flew.

  The Red-bellied Nuthatch and Junco were hopping
about on the ground within a few yards of the
spot where I saw them yesterday but there were
no Chickadees with them this morning.

  A silent Robin was the only other bird seen
in these hemlocks. Faxon & Hoffman whom I met
in the Grove told me that they had heard a 
Robin singing somewhat brokenly in Arlington earlier
in the morning.

  They also report Song Sparrows in considerable
numbers in the swamps this morning, one flock
of ten or a dozen feeding in a garden evidently migrants.
