Fine.
Sunny & mild but chilly with
rather harsh west wind.
  Crows cawing long & lustily 
in early morning. At 5.10 P.M.
discovered a red Screech Owl in the 
Jungle his face showing at the hole
in the Flicker nest box, his body [etc.?]
inside it. I happened to notice him
from the window of the Museum.
C.[Caroline], E.[Elizabeth R. Simmons] & Emmy [Emmy Kettell] came out to see 
him. We all stood at the window
& used our opera glasses. At 5.30
his head was still there but at 6
it was gone. 
  Spent day in Museum picking
out skins for C's Wisconsin
School. It was slow work & I did
not finish. C. & E.[Elizabeth R. Simmons] went to Symphony 
Concert this eve. E. read "Ralph the
Heir" to me.
