Concord, Mass. (The Farm)
1902.
June 20
  Brilliantly clear with light W. wind. A perfect June day.
  I went to the farm yesterday afternoon in a
pouring rain and spent the night and the whole
of to-day there.
  The Phoebees had returned to the old barn and 
I repeatedly saw one of them go to the nest under
the eaves in which she reared her first brood this
season and which she is evidently preparing to use
again. The pair at Ball's Hill are also about
the horse shed again and the female has repeatedly
flown out through the window when Gilbert or I
have walked past along the path.
Two pairs of Phoebees occupy same nests twice in one season.
  The Hummingbirds at the farm must have built
another nest (their first was deserted & partially dismantled
on June 2nd) for I saw the male last evening and again
several times to-day perched on the topmost (dead)
twig of an apple tree in the orchard behind the
house as well as in the flower garden.
Hummer
  Although I have heard no Indigo Birds at the farm
this month I found a fine male in the orchard
behind the house late yesterday afternoon.
Indigo Bird
  Two Field sparrows sang a few times in the
blueberry pasture last evening just after sunset & I
heard another this afternoon in a pasture beyond
Lawrence's.
