1900.
October 10
  Cloudy with violent N.E. wind. Frequent showers in A.M.
and steady & rather heavy rain through the evening.
  A Parula Warbler appeared in front of the cabin this
morning in company with Chickadees. It was apparently a young
male and was very tame. This is a late date.

  I wen to Boston at noon. As I was walking to the
West Bedford Station through Parker's field I came upon a
rather large flock of Chippies accompanied by eight Bluebirds.
To Boston
Oct 11
  Blue sky covered half the heavens at sunrise and the sun set
clear at evening but most of the day was cloudy and there were
a dozen or more heavy showers. The wind was strong from the N.W.
and piercingly cold in the early morning.
  Returned to Concord by the early morning train. As we
were getting our things into the boat a Phoebe began singing near
my new boat house. He kept it up almost without pause for 
nearly ten minutes and his voice was as full & strong & his
notes as finished as at the height of the love season. It was
delightful to hear him singing thus with the cold N.W. wind
roaring through the tree tops & the sky overcast by gloomy clouds.

full song.
