Ther. [Thermometer] WED. AUG. 16, 1911 [Wednsesday, August 16, 1911]  Wea. [Weather]
Fine
Brilliantly clear & pleasantly cool with
fresh N.W. [northwest] wind.
  At 8.30 A.M. I found a [female] Maryland
Yellow-throat & a young Nashville Warbler
in shabby moulting condition, in the Garden.
They were in dense shrubbery in front of
Museum on edge of pond where they flitted
about together keeping ever within a yard
or less of one another. There were 8 
Robins in Garden at this hour & later.
I heard a Blue Jay & a Crow there. Also
a Goldfinch singing sweetly & a Red-eye [Red-eyed Vireo] feebly.
Also a Solitary Sandpiper flying over,
calling half a dozen times or more seemingly
very near me although I failed to see it.
In late P.M. I started 2 Oven birds from 
ground in Jungle. They scolded me vigorously.
  With Gilbert's [Robert Alexander Gilbert] help packed trunk in P.M.
After supper went down to see Allens & to
walk with them along river. Returning
called on Lizzy Fuller & spent half an hour there.
Then called at Deanes' & saw Walter & Margie.

2 Oven birds in the Garden. Gilbert

Swallows about these marshes. Also large
flocks of Meadow Larks [meadowlarks]. Reached So Yarmouth [South
