Concord, Massachusetts.

Mass.
Concord. - Cloudless with moderate N. to N. E. wind. Warm
in the middle of the day.
  To Ball's Hill at 10 a.m. Saw little of any
peculiar interest save a bunch of four Golden eyes
two adult [males] and two [females] and a pair of Gooseanders
all flying past the hill late in the afternoon.
On my way up river at sunset I counted no less
than 22 Red-wings all single [males] scattered about
singing on the tops of the maples.

March 31
  Very like yesterday but a little warmer and with
less wind. A delicious day of the very best March
type.
  Walk to Damsdale via Derby's lane at 8.30 a.m.
Song Sparrows & Bluebirds singing on every side. Then
Juncos along a wall. Started four Black Ducks
from a pool of rain water in Mr. Derby's orchard.
