Summer Residents of our Place
  47. Phoebe: - Four nesting pairs are in the
horse shed at Ball's Hill, one at Benson's,
one in the cellar of the Ritchie' barn and
one in the usual place under the cans of 
our old barn. The Ritchie place bird is now
(June 18) sitting on her second clutch of
eggs.
  48. Wood Pewee: - A bird at the farm (singing
sometimes in the big oak at the rear
of the farm, sometimes in Pulpit Rock
woods) another in the oak woods east
of the Ritchie place, a third in Prescott's
pines, a fourth on Davis' Hill.
  49. Least Flycatcher: one pair at the Ritchie
place, another at the rear of our flower
garden, a third in Mc Grath's orchard at
West Bedford. The birds in our garden
build their nest in a curious position
(cf Journal).
  50. Humming bird: - A pair visiting the flower garden
at the farm almost daily. Saw the male there
June 14. On June 8 found nest 2 eggs in isolated
apple tree front of Ritchie's farm. On the 15th I saw
both eggs. Found one of them hatched on
morning of 18th.
