Zon. albicollis [Zonotrichia albicollis] Corvus Am. [Corvus americanus]
Mnioltilta varia
1875 May 2 - 1875 [May 2, 1875] Middlesex Co., Mass. [Middlesex County, Massachusetts]
April 30. [April 30, 1875] small pine to investigate a squirrels
nest and when about half way up,
a large Sciurus carolinensis ran out.
I pulled a hole in the bottom and
drew out a young "gray" about as
large as an adlt [adult] Tamias striata
but with as yet unclosed eyes. The
little fellow squealed most piteously
in a high key, but the old one
did not attempt "a rescue" as I
expected she would, nor indeed
did I see her again. Started at least
a dozen grouse and one woodcock.
Saw also near Lincoln a pure
white woodchuck but did not
get a shot at him. Killed one of
the ordinary color at Concord and
found him infested with wood
ticks many of which were swollen
to an enormous size.
  Sunday May 2 [May 2, 1875] Clear with high wind. Heard a [male]
Zon. albicollis [Zonotrichia albicollis] singing in our
garden this morning and saw
a flock of 13 Curvirostra Am. [Curvirostra americana] in
Mr. Hubbards grounds opposite.
In the afternoon took a walk 
up to the swamps and saw
at least 50 Hirundo horreorum
circling about over the clay pit.
The elm trees are in full flower
and the willow catkins have
been out some days. The grass
is also getting green nearly everywhere.
