Concord, Mass.
1910.
Sept. 24
[September 24, 1910]

  Cloudy and cool with fresh N.E. [northeast] wind which brought rain this
evening (about 8 P.M.).

Blue Jays migrating at 7 A.M.

  About seven o'clock this morning I saw two Blue Jays
passing over Ball's Hill very high in air (at least 600 feet).
Heading due south they kept steadily on until they were
lost to my sight in the distance. That they were migrating
at the time I feel quite certain.

Pheasants begin crowing again
Pheasant crows double

  Ringed Pheasants have begun crowing again after
an interval of two months of complete silence.
I heard one yesterday morning early, in the meadow to the
eastward of Ball's Hill. In the same place what was probably 
the same bird crowed dozens, if not scores, of times this
morning between seven and ten o'clock. Several times he
either gave a double crow or else another bird crowed just after
him. The second crow followed the first so closely that there
was little or no pause between the two. This I have never heard before.
