Concord, Mass.
1902.
July 12
Clear and rather warm with light S.W. wind.
  Came to Concord by the later afternoon train.
Saw a good-sized flock of Bobolinks from the car window
in Bedford and and several small flocks flying over the river
meadows where their liquid pink call note was almost
constantly in my ears as we sat at supper in the cabin.
Ball's   Hill
Bobolinks
  Walking to Pine Park and Pine Ridge after supper I
heard in full regular song 2 Vireos, a Cat-bird, a Vesper
Sparrow and two Song Sparrows. A Red-wing was singing
fairly well and a Black & White Creeper sang six or eight
times. Ovenbirds going up and singing on wing 
in every direction just after sunset. Gilbert tells me that
a Robin sang near the cabin.
Birds singing at evening
  There seem to be a good many Quail this season
and I hear them calling frequently but they do not 
seem to whistle bob-white nearly so much as usual.
Quail
  A Green Heron rising from the marsh opposite the
cabin late this afternoon, and apparently without being
startled by anything, uttered a Cuckoo-like cue-cue-
cue-cue immediately followed by a harsh, drawling
ca-a-a-a, ca-a-a-a
Notes of Green Heron
  Bull Frogs were bellowing lustily and Green Frogs
tunging almost ceaselessly over the entire extent of
the Great Meadow after dark this evening. Their 
were also a few Garden Toads squawking.
Frogs & Toads
  Mosquitos continue numerous & annoying.
