(No 3)
  On reaching Cambridge I took a car down North
Avenue to Linnaean Street and walked thence to our
place. In the Botanic Garden, where I spent upwards of
an hour looking at the out-of-doors collection of plants,
I noted the following birds:-
1. Robin:- One in full song.
2. Yellow Warbler:- One singing in the old orchard north of the green house
3. Redstart:- One singing in the Garden
4. Red-eyed Vireo:- Two singing in the Garden
5. Yellow thr.:- One singing in the Garden
6. Cedar bird:- Two heard in the Garden
7. Goldfinch:- A pair in the Garden
8. Chipping Sparrow:- A pair in the Garden feeding young out of nest.
9. Song Sparrow:- A pair in the Garden chirping anxiously & evidently with young.
10. English Sparrow:- Swarming in the Garden
11. Crow:- One heard cawing near the Garden
12. Kingbird:- One heard in apple orchard north of greenhouses
13. Least Flycatcher:- One in apple orchard north of greenhouses. Another to E. of Garden bath in apple orchards
14. Yellow-billed Cuckoo:- One in the Garden.
Birds noted in Botanic Garden.
  The song sparrows were together in shrubbery on the borders of
the pond & evidently excited by the presence of a cat. After I
drew the cat away the male sparrow began singing. There can be no
doubt that the birds were breeding in the Garden.
  Between Concord Avenue and Sparks Street, in the shade trees or,
small garden bordering Craigie & Buckingham Streets I heard singing
2 Robins, 2 Yellow Warblers, a Redstart, a Red-eyed Vireo, Cedar
Birds (lisping), an Oriole, a Black-billed Cuckoo, 2 Least Flycatchers
(one in the large willows on Concord Avenue, the other in the Parker place)
I also saw several Swifts. This makes nine species in all.
Birds noted on Craigie & Buckingham Streets.
