Spring and early summer.
Concord, Mass.
1913

26. Black-poll Warbler. Uncommonly scarce. S. O. Dexter [Smith Owen Dexter] heard a [male] singing
on May 7 [May 7, 1913] in Concord village and 3 more there on the 22nd [May 22, 1913]. I noted
only 3 in all, one on the 21st [May 21, 1913], two on the 31st [May 31, 1913].

27 Blackburnian Warbler. - Arrival May 2 [May 2, 1913] ([male] singing in Pulpit Rock pines, a
local summer resident bird, I think). Rather heavy flight of north-bound
migrants on May 25 [May 25, 1913]. A [male] singing through June in Pulpit Rock woods and
another on Pine Hill were the only breeding birds I could locate.

28 Black-throated green warbler. - Arrived April 24 [April 24, 1913] (1 [singing] Birch Field). Heavy
migration on May 9 [May 9, 1913]. Exceptionally numerous through breeding season when
there were at lest five [males] singing energetically on Pine Hill, almost if not
quite as many in Prescott's pines, two or three in Pulpit Rock woods, 
two within hearing of our farm house, one at Ball's Hill and several
others within the confines of our land.

29 Pine warbler. - Arrival April 2 [April 2, 1913] ([male] on ground in middle of Bensen's Pasture).
All the usual breeding stations occupied. Thus a [male] sang through the
season on Ball's Hill, another on Pine Hill, a third on Davis Hill,
a fourth in Prescott's Pines, a fifth in Pulpit Rock, a sixth 
in the Barrett run. On May 12 [May 12, 1913] I heard one in a small isolated
group of pitch pines in the wide, open pasture lands S.W. [southwest] from Mr. Harris'.
Two broods of young were seen on June 8 [June 8, 1913], [male] parents feeding one of them.

30 Yellow Red-poll Warbler. - April 10-25. Not very numerous. 4 seen
on 24th [April 24, 1913] & as many on 25th [April 25, 1913], represented maximum numbers
noted in any one day. Found in apple orchards & among scattered pines.

31 Oven-bird. Arrived May 4 [May 4, 1913]. Breeding everywhere in 
normal abundance. Young on wing June 14 [June 14, 1913].

32 Water Thrush (noveboracensis). May 17-23 Noted only 3 in all.
