Cambridge, Mass.
1898
March 26                
  Clear with chill S. wind.
  Spent the day in Cambridge. There seemed
to be but few birds there. A Robin and a 
Purple Finch were the only native birds I saw
in the garden and to this meager list I added
only another Robin during the drive to Porter's Station
later in the afternoon.
  Michael told me, however, that Grosbeaks have
been very numerous during the past week. On
one occasion he counted thirty feeding on the
ground in our garden.
