1902.
July 14
  Clear and hot. Ther. 91 degrees at 2 P.M.
  At about seven o'clock this morning I saw our
Ball's Hill Phoebee fly into the horse-shed, where she has
a nest with 3 large young, bearing a good-sized dragon-
fly in her bill. I could hear the young making a
low chirping sound as the mother fed them.
Phoebee feeds young with a dragonfly
  While waiting at the West Bedford station to
take the train for Cambridge I heard the following
birds singing: - Robin, one; Chippy, two (singing freely);
Song Sparrow, two; Purple Finch, one (in full song);
Baltimore Oriole, one (fluted once, only); Meadow Lark,
one (in Parker's meadow).
