  The garden alive with birds mostly Robins, Redstarts
and Yellow Warblers with their broods of young. A
Grosbeak was in full song thru this evening for half-an-hour
or more, a late date for free continuous singing.

  The ripening white mulberries are attracting Robins and
Orioles to the garden in great numbers. Grosbeaks also
came be feed on the mulberries and I saw an old
bird accompanied by a brood of fully fledged young in
the tree this morning. Singing is fast declining but
I still [see] Red-eyed & Warbling Vireos, Redstarts, Yellow Warblers
and an occasional Chippy. Robins continue in full
song at all hours but they are less numerous about
our place this season than usual.

  Wolfeboro, New Hampshire
  June 19, 20
  I went to Wolfeboro on the 19th when, with a party of
teachers from the Academy, I steamed all over the Lake.
The only birds of any interest seen on this occasion were
a pair of Loons.
  On the 20th I heard Red Crossbills a number of times in
the trees near the Academy building. Judging by their calls
there must have been a large flock of them.
  Bobolinks and Purple Martins appeared to be as numerous
as were in the village and its encircling fields.
