Fair.
Calm & mild with alternating
clouds & sunshine.
  Purdie [Henry A. Purdie] & I went to Birch Field
after breakfast. Where the path from
the orchard enters Pulpit Rock woods
we met a remarkable flock of birds.
It was made up chiefly of Golden
crested Kinglets of which I counted 22
in sight at once. I think there were at
least 30 in all. There were also several
Chickadees a Nuthatch & a Yellow rump.
In the birches we saw 6 White-throats,
2 Tree Sparrows, a Yellow rump & 3
Hermits. In the Barrett Run we flushed
a Woodcock. Mr. & Mrs Emerson came
down at noon & stayed an hour.
  Henshaw, Purdie & I walked to Green
Hill in afternoon. Saw a Chippy & Fox Sp. [Fox Sparrow]
& many Juncos & a few Golden crests.
Met Mr. Hutchins at his pond. Saw
3 Horned Larks on way back. Called on
the Howe's where we stayed about almost an hour.
Saw many Deer Tracks of various sizes.

Fair.
Sunny for the most part and
very mild with soft S.W. [Southwest] wind.
Leaving the old farm house at 7 A.M.
I walked to Ball's Hill with Pat
& crossing the river took an 8.10 
train for Boston. After spending 
half an hour at our office I went
to South Station where I was joined 
by C. [Caroline Brewster], E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] & Mary Greenough.
C. [Caroline] & Mary started at 10.30 for Chicago
whence they go to Fond du Lac to
visit Aunt Ruth. I visited the office
again on my way to Cambridge while
I lunched about noon. Henry joined
me there. He went to Mus. C. Zool. [Museum of Comparative Zoology]
in P.M. to see Sam Henshaw
found only Bangs & Barbour.
  Purdie dined with Lizzie, H.W.H [Henry Henshaw]
& me at our house at 6.45.
Nuttall Club meeting later.
