Concord. - has sung steadily through the entire season
thus far not even stopping when, some three weeks ago,
its young left the nest. Of late the male seems to spend
most of his time alone in the elms or apple trees about
the house while the female and young roam together through
the entire orchard and doubtless beyond.

  There are young Orioles constantly about the house but 
whether they belong to the brood reared in our elm or not
I cannot of course determine. They do not often give
the here-we-are call now.

  Spelman came up from Cambridge by the morning train
and at 11 A.M. I started up river with him taking the
Rushton boat and using the paddles only. We paddled
directly to Fairhaven landing at Lee's Cliff to lunch
and after spending an hour there under the shade
of a pine starting back at 2.15 P.M. The sun was
very warm but there was a refreshing breeze in most
places and we did not suffer at all.
  Soon after entering the "Bay" we heard a Hawk
screaming among the pines on Lee's hill. The tone of
its voice at once recalled to my mind that of the
Red-tailed Hawk which frequented this hill in the
summers of 1886 and 1887 but I think the form of
the cry was different. The present bird regularly
uttered three cries in succession [*notation], the first rather low
and subdued in tone the second and third rising
and shrill with an indescribably wild, free ring. They
were exceedingly like the beginning of the Duck Hawk's
scream but there were never more than three. After
we landed the bird appeared and sailed over us
