was still encased in ice but it looks
rotten. A few Gulls wheeling over it,

  Clear, calm, warmer.
  Chills, fever & pains in back, head & legs
came upon me last night & I have 
spent to-day in bed. It looks like
a short but sharp attack of the
grippe. I am decidedly better this P.M. but still a little
weak & feverish.

  Cloudy & snowing most of day
the snow melting as it struck.
  Spent day in Museum writing three
birds for Cambridge List in A.M.,
looking over negatives etc. in P.M.
Mr. Beard's son brought us a feather
which seems to be that of a Snowy Owl &
which he found on the Thorpe place under
a tree from whence a very large bird flew
at dusk with a single loud cry. The boys
tell me that Red wings & Grackles have
arrived. My crocuses are up but not
one of them has blossomed yet.
