1893 
April 13
Cambridge. Mass.
  Cloudy with several short, light showers. Wind S.W.
A rather cool and very damp day.
  I went to Cambridge this morning by 9.45 train
on the Lowell R.R. On the way to the station heard a
Chipping Sparrow singing in Mr Keyes's grounds and
saw a flock of Rusty Grackles.
  On reaching Cambridge I found the lawns everywhere
more or less green & some of them very green which
the general appearance of the cultivated trees and
shrubs indicated that vegetation generally was a
week or more ahead of that at Concord.

  Robins appear to be very numerous this spring
in Cambridge. They were singing in the garden,
at intervals, during the entire day and at evening
very freely and generally. I saw four at one time
on the lawn.

  Denton tells me that Fox Sparrows have been
constantly present in the garden during the past
week. He counted five there yesterday but I
could find none to-day. They have evidently been
attracted and retained by the fallen seeds of some
Sunflowers which grew last season among the grape vines
and which I left standing all winter.
