  There were 24 Fox Sparrows at the cabin at 8.45
A.M. and 8 or 10 through the day. They sang
freely at all hours but not continuously as was
the case yesterday. At the farm I saw only six
or eight of them and more between here and there.

  Only a few scattered Juncoes appeared to be left
in this region. I noted scarce a dozen in all to-day.

  Gilbert saw a Bittern flying past the cabin
in the afternoon and a Great Blue Heron this
morning.

  There are surprisingly few Song Sparrows at or
near Ball's Hill this spring but I found five or
six at the farm this afternoon, feeding close about
the barn when hay seed had been strewn.
