Concord, Mass.

Where in reached the cabin it was nearly dark.  Hylons,
Toads, Tree frogs and Leopard? Frogs were singing. The
Toads all gave the summer squawk. No night birds.

We saw two Coopers' hawks this afternoon. The first                                      
an immature male, was flying over Davis Swamp.
The second, a beautiful adult female, crossed the
river and sailed over Balls' Hill bearing in his
claws a small, plump bird that looked like a
small chicken.  As nearly as I could tell she
went into the pines near the glacial hallow.
(On the afternoon of the 22nd I sent a man up to
examine the only nest which I have been able to find
in the pines. It proved to be that of a Gray Squirrel)
