1876.
Sept. 22 [September 22, 1876]  Clear and a lovely day. I called at the French's
last evening and made an appointment
with Dan. [Daniel Chester French] to take a tramp together to day,
so at 8 A.M. I drove over to his house and
found him waiting for me. We drove
directly down to Hall's and tying my horse
spent three hours tramping through the
surrounding woods. I must have walked
over two miles which encourages me to
hope that my hip is at last recovered
though it pained me somewhat afterwards.
We started only one game bird, a grouse
which "Smuggler" pointed twice in a good
style but which rose just out of gun range
each time. The dog worked very handsomely
for a pup of his age, ranging quite freely.
I started the Oporonis in the same place
to a yard where I found it yesterday
and this time I killed it. It was as
usual excessively fat. I also took Vireo 
solitarius, Mniotilta varia y.y. [female young-of-the-year], and D.
caerulescens, [Dendroica caerulescens]. The woods were literally filled
with small birds, mostly D. striata [Dendroica striata].
Spent the P.M. in making up skins.
Saw a single  D. maculosa [Dendroica maculosa] in full pl. [plumage].
  Sept. 23 [September 23, 1876] Clear and a lovely day. Starting off in my
buggy at 9 A.M. I drove Bill. Buttrick [William Buttrick] down 
to Lincoln where I left him to hunt back.
Striking into a wood path from the Walden
road I drove through it emerging into the Sandy
pond road. Shot three D. striata [Dendroica striata], spoiling two
of them for specimens. Saw another O. agilis [Oporonis agilis]
among birches on a dry hill top and shot at 
it but missed. Saw a cuckoo, sp. [species] undetermined.
Spent P.M. writing. Saw Parula Am [Parula americana sev. [several]
