Water found in Fresh Pond.

  Passing around Fresh Pond in a motor car this
forenoon I saw upwards of one hundred
Black Ducks and a few Herring Gulls standing
or lying on the ice along the edge of a large
space of open water in Boat House Cove
which the intake (where the fountain used to
be) has kept more or less free from ice
all winter. The pond elsewhere is still
frozen over - rather solidly, it seemed.

No birds seen between Cambridge & Concord

  After leaving it I motored to Concord,
in a steady, fine rain, without setting
eyes on a single bird of any kind.
I fully expected to see Bluebirds, if not
Robins & Blackbirds also, for the fields
are almost wholly free from snow & have
been for nearly a week.
