Ther. [Thermometer] FRI. FEB. 24, 1911 [Friday. February 24, 1911] Wea. [Weather]
Fine
Clear & cool with light W. [west] wind.
No birds except a few House Sparrows
  Spent day in Museum
devoting most of it to preparing
an article for Bird lore [Bird-Lore] on
"The Courtship of the Am. Merganser [American Merganser]".
This I took almost verbatim
from an account written out in
my journal under date of
March 16, 1909, relating to 31
birds that I watched that 
morning in Fresh Pond. I had
the article finished by 5 P.M.
C.[Caroline] copied about half of it this
forenoon. She went to her Bee
this evening when I called on
Lizzy Fuller spending more than
an hour with her. Now I am
back in the Den about to read
a chapter or two of Kipling's stories.
