61 [degrees] Water Fowl in Fresh Pond. Fine
Clear, calm, warm. Indian Summer day
Fresh Pond as smooth as glass the entire
forenoon. I was there from 10.30 to 12.30
meeting Barrett & another opera glass man
(oldish & not keen or well informed) whom
I did not know. Wonderful show of birds.
About 2500 Herring Gulls & just 10 adult
Black-backs [Black-backed Gull], upward of 100 Black Ducks,
one flock of 16 Gooseanders [Goosanders] & another of 14,
a Canada Goose, 3 Baldpates, 4 Lesser
Scaups & 2 Golden-eyes all in water at once

Heard a Downy [Downy Woodpecker], Chickadees, Gold crests [Golden-crowned Kinglet] Jays &
Crows in Garden. At Fresh Pond lots
of people walking & driving. Ladies & children
sitting on benches. I wore no overcoat

Cambridge - Concord.
Ther. [Thermometer] MON. [Monday] DEC. 11, 1911 [December 11, 1911] Wea. [Weather]
Fine
Clear with fresh S.W. [Southwest] wind. Even
warmer than yesterday I think without 
having seen a thermometer.
  Gilbert & I took 10.08 A.M. train to
Concord where James met us at station.
It was almost noon when we got to
Farm. It seemed like mid-autumn
then. James's bees were pouring to & from
their hives and their humming was incessant
in a [an] apple tree thickly hung with half
decayed fruit. Ground very muddy; no ice
on even the smallest pools. James & I
went to Pine Park after dinner & cut a
lot of pines for winter covering. Found
Pat walking by river & he joined & helped us.
Afterwards went to cabins & over Ball's 
& Pine Hills. Heard Chickadees, Goldcrests [Golden-crowned kinglet],
Juncos & Goldfinches. Saw a Nuthatch,
a Hairy W. [Hairy Woodpecker] a few Crows & 3 Partridges.
Walked back to Farm in twilight.
