(No 18)

1. Wood Thrush. On May 7 [May 7, 1914] one was heard singing, near his house in
Concord village, by S.O. Dexter [Smith Owen Dexter]. I failed to note the species anywhere in
our neighborhood which it seems to have permanently deserted.
2. Wilson's Thrush. Arrived May 11 [May 11, 1914]. Began singing on the 20th [May 20, 1914].
Apparently less numerous than Wood. Only one pair at Farm (in Run
& Berry Pasture) and not more than two pairs near Ball's Hill with
a fourth pair located near the Barrett spring in Birch Field.
3. Swainson's Thrush. Unusually scarce. I heard one calling in the 
lilacs at the rear of our farm house on May 22 [May 22, 1914] & saw another
in Prescott pine woods on the 19th [May 19, 1914]. Dexter heard one singing near
Mr. Harris' house on June 2 [June 2, 1914].
4. Hermit Thrush. Little, if any, obvious north-bound migration save
perhaps on May 2 [May 2, 1914], when a single bird was found in Prescott's pines, & on
the next day, when two were seen together on the Run at foot of lane.
One appeared in Birch Field on April 19 [April 19, 1914] & two on the 20th [April 20, 1914], no doubt the
pair that bred there last year. I saw them almost daily through last 
week of April & heard the [male] in full song there on May 9 [May 9, 1914] & 20 [May 20, 1914], but on no other date.
