  To the Almys just after breakfast

Mary Greenough, Harry & Alice
Bartlett and Emmy Kettell dined
with E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] & me at 1.30. They
stayed until 4.30. Soon after that
Mr. Leverett came and stayed
until 6.30.
  At 8.30 A.M. I saw from our
bathroom window a Shrike trying
to hang up a House Sparrow in the
lilacs. After trying 2 forks which
did not serve his purpose he found
one that did. After this he ate the
head & neck of the Sparrow. At 5 P.M.
I visited the place again & the Sparrow
had then disappeared.
  Saw 4 Flickers at once, 2 in a [?]
in Garden, 2 in Elms over driveway.
