June 28. A family of Purple Finches in the

Low fog early morning. Cool day.

June 30. A family of Warbling Vires near front porch, young
tearing to be fed. Note: mee-e; mee-e; mee-e;
thine. A Cassin Vireo alighted on the top wire
of the rose trellis and sang several tunes, then
chased another in the Crab apple Tree (pair ?)
Saw a Swift (Vaux) fly over the tops of the
trees on the river bank.
At about 4:40 a.m.(war time), I heard a
Western Martin calling. At 5 a.m. the Rob. Thrush
began singing. Later in the day several young
thrushes were flying through The trees and Calling.
The note reminded me a little of the quaver of a
Varied Thrush. Quite sure I heard a Robin
above the main street in the Town.
I have spent much time planting a Vegetable
garden. I have found no angle worms.
