Concord, Mass.
1911.
March 28
[March 28, 1911]

  Chiefly cloudy. Cool with strong, harsh north-west wind.

First Phoebee

  Pat called me out at 7 A.M. to see a Phoebee [Phoebe]
which had just flown into the wood shed, he said. I
found (and left) it in the loft of the shed fluttering
against the window. A few minutes later it went out.

Strange call note heard

  As I was in the orchard about 10 A.M. I
heard a strange bird note repeated half a dozen times
or more evidently by a bird passing overhead towards
the west. It was not unlike the whit of the 
Least Flycatcher but much louder & stronger. It is
not altogether new to me for I remember hearing a
precisely similar call several years ago in autumn. 
On that occasion I think I saw the bird flying high
over the river meadows near the Holt. It looked like
a Finch of some kind. I wonder if it could be an
Evening Grosbeak.
