Lancaster, Mass.
1900.
June 28
  Forenoon clear and very hot. A thunder storm at
noon and another shortly after sunset.
  Went to Lancaster by the forenoon train & spent
the night at Miss Holman's. In the elms shading
the village streets heard Vireo gilvus et flavifrons singing
and a Sitta carolinensis honking. Two Meadow Larks
were singing in grassy fields near the house. Broods 
of young Orioles were calling everywhere.
  In the afternoon we took a short drive passing
through woods where mountain laurel was blooming
in rich profusion. Among some second-growth oak
woods on the crest of a hill a Hermit Thrush was
in full song but his voice was comparatively weak
& thin.
