Concord Mass.
1898
June 3
  A heavy N.E. storm with violent wind and 
steady rain from morning to night.
  Spent most of the day in the cabin but
late in the afternoon walked to Davis's Hill.
Saw nothing of any special interest.
" [June] 4   
  Cloudy with heavy rain all day. At sunset  
 the rain stopped and the sky cleared in the
N.W. but the strong N.E. wind still holds.
  Purdie arrived by the 5.30 train this afternoon.
After supper we took a short walk. The
evening was cool and there was but little
singing. Even the Wilson's thrushes were nearly
silent. Last night they sang very freely and
finely in the rain. Like the Hermit Thrushes
they vary greatly in individual proficiency. One
that I listened to last evening had an 
exceptionally clear, pure-voice and his execution 
was without a flaw. I have never heard a better singer.
