Cambridge, Massachusetts.

May 29
  Forenoon cloudy; afternoon clear with light
S. wind.
  I went to Cambridge on the 23rd and 
spent the week there. It rained more or less every
day and on several days heavily. The migration 
seems to have totally come to an end on the 22nd
for since then I have not met with a single
northern breeding bird. In or near the old garden 
in Cambridge I saw or heard during the week
Robins, Yellow Warblers (only a pair in the garden)
Redstarts (only one pair on our place) Red-eyed vireo (one heard
singing in the lindens), Warbling Vireo (one singing 
May 24th) Yellow-throated vireo (one heard
May 28), Purple Finch (one singing May 28), Chipping
Sparrow (one only), Rose-breasted Grosbeak (one
singing regularly in our garden, another on Fayerweather
Street. & two birds flying over our garden on the evening of
the 27th), Least Flycatcher (one singing in Dr. Wyman's
willows) Chickadee (one singing in the Wyman willows
on the 27th & one in our garden on the morning
of the 28th) Chimney Swifts, several Black-backed Cuckoo (one singing on
May 24th), Yellow-billed Cuckoo (one singing daily
in or near the garden), Crow (several flying over
the garden daily) Night Heron (two flying over
the garden on the evening of the 27th); altogether
a list of eighteen species all, no doubt, 
settled for the season.
