  I retuned to Concord by an early afternoon train.
Between Lexington & Bedford I saw seven or eight 
Kingbirds flying over the fields.
  Walking at evening around the east end of Ball's Hill
I saw a pair of Black Ducks & the immature Eagle
that has been frequenting this locality of late.

  A Virginia Rail was calling cutta on Great Meadow &
another gave the pig notes in the blueberry swamp
behind the Hill where I think there is likely to be
a nest a little later.
  The Robins came into this swamp to roost as usual
- about a dozen of them, all male I think.
They are roosting this spring in the blueberry bushes
- not in the pines as females.
