May 31                  
  Warm with alternating cloudiness and sunshine.
Evening clear and calm.
  Spent the forenoon getting plants for my
wild-flower garden, rambling through the woods
on the Bedford side of the river opposite the
cabin. Heard a Parula Warbler there in full 
song.
  At evening paddled up river landing at Dakin's
Hill where I strolled about until it was nearly
dark. As I was returning I saw the Night-hawks
flying about over the woods on Holdens Hill.
June 1                  
  Clear with vioent N.S. wind.
  Spent the day working near the cabin. A                         
Wilson's Black-cap sang through the forenoon in
the thicket near the canoe landing. This and the
Paula Warbler heard yesterday are the only migrants
that I have noted lately. The flights of Black-polls
was very light and passed usually early this spring.
At evening walked up through the fields to
Bensen's and back by way of the pine woods.
A fine chorus of Wilson's Thrushes. Tanagers singing
until it was about dark. Saw a remarkably
tame Rabbit. It kept just out of my reach
and I could not make it run over by rushing
at it.
