May 1, Wednesday.

This morning I went down in the fields after breakfast.  In the ditch by Maine's woods a Song Sparrow flew from her nest.  It contained one egg.  It was built in under the grass.  She was not alarmed.  Chipping Sparrows were thick.  The woods were full of Myrtle Warblers in song.  They had 3 songs.
