Concord, Mass.
1902.
March 30
  Early morning cloudless & most of forenoon sunny but
late afternoon cloudy. Very warm at noon. Light N. & E. winds.
  At sunrise Robins, Bluebirds & Song Sparrows were singing
and a Quail calling near the house. The Phoebee did not
begin singing until nearly 7 A.M. A little later I saw it &
its mate together at the barn. As we were at breakfast a
flock of five Juncos came into the lilacs behind the house
& began scratching among the leaves. Two Partridges were
drumming in the run at 2 P.M. At about the same
time a Golden crested Kinglet was in full song in
the pines near Pulpit Rock where I also saw a little
company of five Fox Sparrows on the ground among some
small pines. Red shouldered Hawks were screaming the
whole forenoon in the direction of the river and to
the west ward. Bluebirds sang through the greater part
of the day but their songs are not equal to what
they were earlier in the month. I saw flying over the
farm Cow-birds, Red-wings, Rusties and Crow Blackbirds.
At evening all but the first-named species were passing
N.E. in scattered flocks or singly - to some roosting
place I suspect.
  Starting at 8 A.M. I walked up the road to the Swift
farm noting every bird seen or heard on the way out but
not on the return. This is the list: - Bluebirds 5 males 2 females,
Robins 12 (3 in full song), Song Sparrows 18, Juncos 5 in a flock 2 in a flock, Grass Finch 1 in full song
(in full, regular song in Lawrence's field), White-bellied Swallow
1 (flying about near Swift's house), Phoebee 2 males in full song 1 female, Flicker 3 (2 in full song),
Tree Sparrow 1 in full song, Crow 1.
