a Purple Finch and a White-bellied Nuthatch were
singing, a Flicker shouting & a Downy drumming near the farm
house. A single White-bellied Swallow was flying about
the bird boxes. I heard a Pine Warbler at Ball's Hill
& Phoebes there, at Pine Park, at the Ritchie place &
at our old barn. The Fox and Tree Sparrows seem to have
gone by but I saw a solitary Junco. Red-wings &
Rusties were flying to & fro over the uplands & singing
along the river. Heard a Hairy Woodpecker at the house
& another in Birch Field. Heard a Pheasant [?] in
the direction of the pond in our Berry Pasture; James
reports hearing him three times daily for a week or more.
Heard the Red-shouldered Hawks screaming at Ball's
Hill & at the Farm. Started a [male] Cooper's Hawk from
the swamp behind the hill and saw a Marsh Hawk
scaling over Pulpit Rock woods.
Common birds.
