Ther. [Thermometer] FRI. [Friday] SEPT. 1, 1911 [September 1, 1911] Wea. [Weather]
72 [degrees] Heavy nocturnal flight of migrating Warblers. Fine
Sunny warm & rather sultry with light
southerly wind.
  Spent most of forenoon in studio with
Mr. Seeley who brought over his camera
and photographed me, exposing seven
plates. His methods of posing me etc.
were unusual & very interesting.
In the afternoon I did a little writing
despite interruptions for George Keyes was
in & out & Mrs. French had several visitors
who were shown the studio & gardens.
Dan continues to gain. He visited the
studio in the forenoon but did not stay long.
In late P.M. I walked down the road as
far as Lahey's.  Heard the fine flight song of 
an Oven Bird & the phew call of a Veery
in pine woods. Saw 5 Swifts & 1, 3 & 5
Night Hawks flying in every direction except S. [South]
one as early as 4 P.M. Migrating Milkweed
Butterflies passing over at intervals through
day 100 to 300 feet in air due South. A 
dozen or more going to roost at eve on ash trees.

Ther. [Thermometer] SAT. [Saturday] SEPT. 2, 1911 [September 2, 1911] Wea. [Weather] 
Fine.
Sky literally without a cloud & sunshine bright
& warm but much haze in distance. Strong S.W. [Southwest]
wind. Air peculiarly soft. A rare summer-like day.
  Mr. Seeley came again this morning to
photograph me and again spent
most of the forenoon exposing two
plates in the studio and five or six
out of doors in an opening in the
woods. I find him a most interesting
& unusual young man exceedingly 
refined in taste & with high ideals.
A mixture of artist & naturalist he is
chiefly the former. A Black-throated Blue
Warbler sang its full song near us a dozen
times or more. In the afternoon Dan
worked on my painting about 2 hours
& we walked about the place. Saw 15
Swifts on wing & [female] Goldfinch on her nest.
Spent evening with family in studio where 
we had gramophone going.
