Ther. [Thermometer] MON. NOV. 8, 1909 [Monday, November 8, 1909] Wea. [Weather]
Dull.
  Cloudy & mild with light rain in P.M.
  Spent day in Museum writing letters,
journal and bird notes. No callers.
A Nuthatch & 2 Crows in the [lindens?], a
Ruby-crown [Ruby-crowned kinglet], 5 Chickadees, a Carolina Wren,
a Brown Creeper & a Fox Sparrow in the Garden.
The Wren began singing at 3.15 P.M.
I have not [certainly?] heard him since the 3rd.
Miss Bishop tells me he has been singing
almost daily in the Garden ever since
she came back to 61 Sparks St. [61 Sparks Street] on Oct 1 [October 1].
She imitated & described his song very well. 
She & the other members of C's [Caroline's] reading class
spent afternoon in our huggermugger. At 5 P.M.
I joined them afterwards walking home
with Mrs. Scudder.  E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] is decidedly
better to-day. Telegram from C. [Caroline] to ask 
about her. Most of the trees bare now
& our place littered with falling leaves.
Spent evening talking with E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons].

Ther. [Thermometer] TUES. NOV. 9, 1909 [Tuesday, November 9, 1909] Wea. [Weather]
Fine.
Clear & mild with fresh W. [west] wind.
  Spent day in Museum, Forbush [Edward Howe Forbush]
with me most of forenoon talking
over Audubon Society matters.
  In afternoon Gilbert [Robert Alexander Gilbert] & I made
some changes in arrangement of things
in the gallery to make room for books
there. Young Baker called at 5 P.M.
to ask me some questions about
birds. He is a pleasing fellow & 
evidently a keen & careful observer.
  Lizzy decidedly better to-day. I
sat with her through evening. Mrs.Cobb
came over to see her at 8.30 & I walked
back with her & saw Lizzy Fuller.
The only birds I noticed in the Garden
to-day were a White-bellied Nuthatch [White-breasted nuthatch]
and a Blue Jay.
