Ther. [Thermometer] SUN. JUNE 13, 1909 [Sunday, June 13, 1909] Wea. [Weather]
Part cloudy.
Forenoon sunny & warm. Afternoon
cloudy. Strong S.W. [southwest] wind which
brought rain at evening.
  Took short walk in pastures just
after breakfast. Visited the Knoll
near Lake House where I saw &
heard a Field sparrow yesterday 
but he was not there this morning.
Spent most of day on house boat
writing letters. It was a great
singing day & the cove rang with
bird voices at all hours. The
songs of two Swainson's Thrushes,
answering one another across the water
at evening was especially delightful.
Alva Coolidge called with his boat
in P.M. staying about an hour.
The Toads & Hylas as noisy as
ever through the evening.

Ther. [Thermometer] MON. JUNE 14, 1909 [Monday, June 14, 1909] Wea. [Weather]
Clear & warm.
Sunny but rather hazy, very warm.
Strong W. to S.W. [west to southwest] wind.
  Spent entire day on house
boat devoting nearly the
whole of it to watching a family
of Whistlers in our cove. I
have written 14 pages about
them in my journal. Most
of this matter was written while
the birds were under my observation.
None of it was copied.
  i did leave the boat once
during the day going out
on a short sail in a canoe.
It was exciting for the wind
blew almost a gale & there 
were plenty of big white caps
Mosquitoes getting troublesome.
We [?] out the boat at evening.
