Ther. [Thermometer SAT. [Saturday] NOV. 6, 1909 [November 6, 1909] Wea. [Weather]
Fine
Clear & pleasantly cool with N.W. [Northwest wind].
As I was dressing a Hermit, a Kinglet
(Satrapa?) & a [female] Downy came into the
elm that shades driveway near my
window. I saw later in the Garden
a beautiful Blue Jay & several Chickadees
and heard a Junco there. Two Crows
alighted in the lindens. I spent
most of day in Museum writing
letters. Saw Mr. Beach in his house
#6 Riedsel Avenue which he has fitted
up very prettily. Henry H. went to
Oakley Club this forenoon to practice golf.
He spent afternoon with me in Museum.
E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] is having a bad time as the 
result of her fall. She was much better
yesterday morning but got very tired at
the Bee which meet in the afternoon & evening
at our house. She sent for Dr. Driver this
morning. She says the injury is wholly to the 
muscles.

Ther. [Thermometer] SUN. [Sunday] NOV. 7, 1909 [November 7, 1909] Wea. [Weather]
Glorious
A rare day, cloudless, windless, with
brilliantly clear air & deliciously warm sunshine.
Henry Henshaw & I started for Fresh Pond
at 10.15. On Huron Ave, car found Walter
Deane & Mrs. Macmillan bound there also.
We all went to end of Hemlock  Point. The 
pond without a ripple save where a fish
rose or a water fowl swam. There were only
a few birds, 2 Canada geese in Boat House Nook,
3 Black Ducks & a [female] Old Squaw near the
centre of the pond. As Henry & I were leaving
about noon some 17 Gulls came in & settled
On the point we saw a Junco, a Hermit, 2
Peabody Birds & 3 Flickers. The Geese we saw are
thought to be escaped from Jamaica Pond
We next went to Glacialis which we found almost
dry. Alewife Brook was wholly so. They
are deepening & widening it [?] [?] & it
will soon drain all the swamps completely.
We saw about a dozen Song Sparrows &
a flock of Redwings all in or near Maple Swamp.
Got back 1 P.M. Will & Alice Stone dined with
Henry & me at 1.30. Lizzy upstairs.
Henry & I went in town at 8.30 & Purdie [Henry A. Purdie] 
joined us at Athletic Club for dinner. Henry &
Henshaw took 8 P.M. train for Washington.
[margin]I got home at 10 P.M.[/margin]
