Concord, Massachusetts.
Visit to Cambridge.
Mass.
Cambridge.- Clear & cool with N.W. wind.
  Last evening and this morning I spent in
my garden at Cambridge. Robins appear to be
as numerous there as usual but I noticed no
Chipping Sparrows and but one Yellow Warbler, nor did
I hear or see a single Grosbeak either here or in any
other part of the city.

heard in or
near my garden.[/margin]

  A Redstart and a Red-eyed Vireo were singing in
my lindens, a Warbling Vireo in the elms on
Sparks Street, and a Yellow-throated Vireo on Brattle Street
below Sparks Street. A Least Flycatcher spent part
of his time in my garden and the remainder in 
Mr Russell's neglected orchard.

  I heard no Cuckoos but was told that they are
unusually numerous this year in & near Cambridge.
Orioles seemed to be quite as common as usual
and I think there are at least two more on
my place, one in the elms in front of Mr. [?]
the other in those which overhang Sparks Street.
  Besides the birds just mentioned I heard a Wood [?]
and one or two Cedar-birds while four Swifts were 
constantly flying about over the house in company.
English Sparrows seemed to me to be certainly
not more numerous than usual and perhaps a
little less numerous. I forgot to mention a
Goldfinch which was singing in the garden on
the morning of the 10th and some Bronzed Grackles
which came to feed on my lawn.
