Concord, Mass.
(The Farm)
1900.
April 28
  Early morning clear; remainder of day cloudy with 
light N.E. wind and occasional sprinkles of rain. Heavy
rain 7-9 P.M. Ther. 33 degrees - 61degrees (42 degrees 7 P.M.)
  Spent the day at the farm driving up in the
early morning. At Ball's Hill Robins & Red-wings sang
at day break and I heard Field Sparrows and Pine
Warblers as I was on my way to the farm. I devoted
the forenoon to setting out plants in the wild garden
at Pulpit Rock. While thus engaged I heard a 
Ruby-crowned Kinglet singing and two Chickadees
giving the phoebe call. A Red-shouldered Hawk
was flying about through the trees screaming loudly.
About the farm however I heard almost nothing save 
the Phoebe, a Purple Finch & a Robin or two. A 
Partridge drummed in the afternoon near the rock.
Birds noted.
  I walked back to the cabin at evening by
way of the Barrett oak woods & Pine Ridge where
I heard a Canada Nuthatch (there was also one
at Pulpit Rock this morning) and saw a Brown
Creeper. Robins were singing freely just before sunset.

  The cool weather of the past few days has
almost completely silenced the Bartrachians. I
heard only one this evening, a Pickering's Hyla.
Frogs & Toads
