Oppressively warm for the season.
Swarms of bees about the squillls

  Spent day in Museum working 
with Gilbert [Robert Alexander Gilbert] numbering cans. 
Went in town this evening to 
dine with Batchelder [Charles Forster Batchelder] at Townsends
where we found only the family.
At 8 we went to University Club
to a meeting of Travelers' Club.  Will Davis presided. Glover Allen
and Dr. Smith told us about their adventures in east Africa.  Both
showed lots of lantern slides
interesting but not good pictures [as a rule?]
First Robin, a fine [male], appeared in our
Garden this morning.  Saw, also, a Song
Sparrow & heard a Jay & a Flicker.
Grass showing green on sunny banks.

Fine
Clear & cooler with strong N.W. [northwest] wind. 
  Spent day in Museum. Worked
all forenoon with Gilbert [Robert Alexander Gilbert] sticking
numbers on trays in big cans.
In afternoon read a big batch of
proof of A.O.U. [American Ornithologists' Union] Check List & wrote
a rather long letter to Dr. Lewis about
the wild fowl law & its need.
C. [Caroline] read the Transcript [Boston Transcript] aloud after
dinner and later E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] read from the
Roadmaker, a charming story.  
Lots of birds in Garden to-day; 
at sunrise heard a Robin and a Flicker
in full song, and a Jay screaming & crows 
cawing.  In afternoon a Shrike perched
in a bush over the pond in front of Museum.
Sang for many minutes. 8 or 10 Grackles
and a silent Song Sparrow spent the 
afternoon [?] on the ground in the
[?] [?] a Downy [Downy Woodpecker] in the catalpa.
The Shrike flew at the Downy [Downy Woodpecker], at a Flicker
& Grackle but not with [any?] intent I thought.
