Concord, Mass.
1904
March 29
  Brilliantly clear with light N.W. wind. Ther. 24 degrees at sunrise.
  Came to Concord by 1.47 P.M. train driving down
from the station. Was told that a week ago today the
entire country was snow covered. To-day the fields were
entirely bare and the roads settled and dry but there
is still plenty of snow in the woods.
  Birds were abundant everywhere. I saw quantities
of Robins and heard a number of Bluebirds singing.
Saw a flock of about 25 Fox Sparrows in Pratt's nursery
and found as many more at the farm where they
were feeding on millet seed in the patch by the barn.
There were a number of Juncos & Song Sparrows with
them. Saw a Phoebe by the barn & another on the
Ritchie place. Red-wings and Rusties flying over at
evening. At sunset a Woodcock began peeping in
the berry pasture & a little later it rose & sang
a number of times.
