Fifth day - Sunday at Groton
and drive to Concord
1875
June 19 [June 19, 1875] 
did in a peculiarly rich wild warble.
Both the D. maculosa [Dendroica maculosa] and the Blackburnian [Dendroica blackburniae]
were in full song and undoubtedly breeding.
  In the afternoon drove 25 miles through
New Ipswich and Townsend to
Groton where we put up for the night
at the Central house, kept by a Mr.
Hoar. In a larch swamp 5 miles
S.E. [southeast] from Jaffrey I heard E. Traillii [Empidonax traillii] 
distinctly, and at Townsend Vireo
gilvus and Dend. aestiva [Dendroica aestiva] were noted
for the first time since leaving Princeton.
  I did not see or hear Mniotilta varia
anywhere in N.H. [New Hampshire]. Carpodacus purpureus
was seen or heard in nearly every
village during the trip.
  Sunday
June 20 [June 20, 1875] Cloudless and warm. Spent the forenoon
strolling about the town which is very
beautiful with rows of fine old elms
and substantial looking residences.
  At 3 P.M. [delete]after[/delete] started for home and
got into Concord by 6.30. After supper
had my horse harnessed and with
Jim drove out to Minot Pratt's farm.
Mr. Pratt is a botanist and showed us
a number of rare ferns that he had
brought from different places and
transplanted on his farm. He pointed
out a hole in a huge elm which over-
shadowed the house where at least 40 ft
above the ground, a pair of Scops asio
had this season bred; the young had
been seen in the trees this morning.
