1905
May 17.
  Cloudy with strong cold N.E. wind.
  Returning from Cambridge (where I spent last night) by
the morning train I crossed the river at Ball's Hill and
walked through the woods to the farm. I was out again,
most of the afternoon, with D.C. French, in the woods
on the farm. Although north-bound migrants seemed less
numerous than they were yesterday they were nevertheless
abundant especially in places sheltered from the wind.
I saw nothing of especial interest, however. The bulk of
the flight seemed to be composed of common birds such
as Redstarts, Canadian Warblers, Oven birds, Black & White
Creepers, etc. 
  There were only a few Swallows on the meadows
yesterday & to-day although the weather has been of
just that kind which usually induces them to
congregate there.
