Sept 24 [September 24, 1877] Drove up to Concord yesterday afternoon
and packed up all my things.
This morning started early and
drove down to Cambridge. Saw
quite a number of Dendroica palmarum
et coronata [Dendroica coronata] for the first time.
  Oct. 1 [October 1, 1877] Took a ride with Will Stone this
forenoon and saw a Pyranga 
rubra in Mt. Auburn [Mount Auburn Cemetery]. It was
with a large company of Bluebirds
and Sparrows and frequently flew
down to the ground as the former
were doing to seize an insect. On
one occasion I saw it pick up a
large green worm or caterpillar.
Saw also Certhia americana
[October 2, 1877] While driving this afternoon in
Brookline I saw a single Anthus 
ludovicianus.

an immature Sphyrapicus varius.

over our garden. A small flock of Scol. ferrugineus [Scolicophagus ferrugineus]
two Quiscalus purpureus - I have seen 
this species at intervals since the summer -
Zon. albicollis [Zonotrichia albicollis] singing faintly, and Sialia
et Turdus migratorius caroling as in 
spring
