28 [28 degrees] - 34 [34 degrees]                                                     Stormy.
A dismal day with lowering sky
and fine sleety rain varied at
times by fine snow.
  Working all day in the 
Museum on the bird collection.
Rearranged the large birds in 
east aisle so condensing them 
as to gain a whole empty 
can.  Room had been left 
originally for expansion but this
I now know will never be needed 
as I have definitely ceased making
any attempts to add to the collection.
Clark & Mills man changed some of
the electric wiring in Museum.
  Three Flickers in Garden running about 
our snow - covered ground like Robins, one
making a single smooth gliding turn of fully
20 ft. [feet] in length. Heard Am. [?]
given twice rather feebly.
No callers. E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] read Shackleton to
me this evening.

Ther[Thermometer]  FRI. FEB.18,1910 [Friday, February 18, 1910] Wea. [Weather]
Fine
Sunny with rising wind (from W. [west])
and falling temperature. Trees & shrubs
coated with ice most of which cling to
them through the day. It glittered &
sparkled wondrously in the sunlight.
  Spent day in museum working with
Gilbert [Robert Alexander Gilbert] on rearrangement of bird
skins. Constantly interrupted by
telephone calls etc.[etcetera]. Charley Noyes
came at 3 P.M.  staying until 4.
and U.A. Lothrop arrived at 4.30
staying until 5.30.  Purdie [Henry A. Purdie]
came at 7 to dine and spend evening.
We went over to Museum after
dinner and looked over bird skins &
for us. C. [Caroline] had a backslide to-day
and kept to her room.
A Flicker the only bird seen in
the Garden.
