Heavy flight of early spring birds
Flood of Bluebirds
First Robins

  The 26th [March 26, 1914] and 27th [March 27, 1914] were for the most part
sunny and windless and almost uncomfortably warm
especially on the 27th [March 27, 1914] when the temperature rose to 72 [degrees].
On the 26th [March 26, 1914] I heard countless Bluebirds. All day long, 
wherever I went, the songs or calls fell on my ears
at short intervals, yet I saw only a few of them.
Heard Robins calling twice. Dexter reports them at
Concord Village yesterday & to-day & Song Sparrows
also. Saw my first Butterfly a large, ragged-winged
brown one. First snow drops in bloom front of house.

First Red-wings Cow-birds & Rusty Blk'ds [Rusty Blackbird]
Countless Song Sparrows

  The 27th [March 27, 1914] brought an exceptionally heavy flight
of early spring migrants chiefly Robins, Song Sparrows
Bluebirds and Blackbirds (Red-wings [Red-winged Blackbird] & Cow-birds & 
one Rusty [Rusty Blackbird]). The whole country was simply
flooded with Bluebirds and Song Sparrows and
their sweet voices fell almost ceaselessly on
