Oct 2 [October 2, 1876] Clear and a most lovely day. Drove up to
Concord last night bringing "Smuggler" with
me. This morning started off with Jim's [James C. Melvin] horse
and drove down to "Halls" where I tied.
Beat over most of the woodcock ground but
failed to start any birds though Smuggler
worked with considerable courage & perseverance
Got up two grouse one of which I fired a 
long shot at. Noticing numbers of small
birds I next went to work to shoot
a few and in the course of an hour or so
took 8 specimens. 2 [female] D. Caerulescens [Dendroica caerulescens], 2
D. virens [Dendroica virens], 1 D. palmarum [Dendroica palmarum]. 1 Regulus cal.[Regulus calendula]
1 Cy. cristata [Cyanura cristata] & 1 Hel. ruficapilla [Helminthophila ruficapilla] (fall pl.[fall plumage]).
I was about giving it up, and turning
towards home when I noticed two small
warblers in a little company of D. virens [Dendroica virens]
which were feeding among some low birches.
After watching them a moment I became convinced
that they were something new to me and was
 about to shoot when both entered some thick
scrub oaks & I lost them for a time. A short
time after this I saw what I took to be some
of them fly out into the birches again and
quickly approaching it, shot, and to my
great delight picked up a fine specimen of
Hel. celata [Helminthophila celata] in fall plumage. I afterwards
searched for the other but in vain. Whether it
was the same or not I an unable to say
but both looked alike when I first observed
them. Spent the P.M. skinning my birds.
Arrivals were Hel. celata [Helminthophila celata], D. palmarum [Dendroica palmarum] sev. [several].
Regulus Cal [Regulus calendula] several, R. satrapa [Regulus satrapa] several, Zon. albicollis [Zonotrichia albicollis] gen. ar. [general arrival]
