Mass.
Concord.- in a small pine on the north side
of the hill and whose first brood of young took
wing from [blank space]. My reasons for thinking this are
that their whole family moved around to
the leafy oaks near my cabin where they
have since remained. I have not seen the
young, however, for several days. The old male
was singing near the cabin on the evening
of the 17th just after the shower but
I have not heard him since. I suppose
he is taking care of the young. I examined
the nest late this afternoon & found that it
contained three eggs, the same number which
composed the first set.

  Started for home at 5 P.M. The wind was strong
against me at first but it soon died away.
Bobolinks, Song Sparrows, Yellow Warblers & many
other common birds singing freely.
  This morning on my way down river I saw
Snapping & Painted Turtles in about equal
numbers on the branches of the trees & bushes
but seldom (I think never) both on the same
perch.

  Grass Finches seem to have become wholly silent
within the last three or four days.
