house. Arthur Brooks, Robert Wolcott, 
Ned Parker, Stoughton Bell, Ingersoll,
Bowditch & a few others there. It

hot water. We sat by a blazing &
smoking fire of snappy wood.
  Only a very few birds in the 
Garden to-day. I noted 2 Fox Sparrows

  Spent day in Museum working

John Baker called just after luncheon
to tell me about his experience with
interesting birds during the past season.
He found a Prairie Warbler in full
song in our garden on May 8 last
& in June Savanna Sparrows (he thought
at least 4 pairs) breeding in the marshes
(now fresh) between the Cambridge Hospital
& Cemetery. Bitterns, Carolina Rails & Va. Rails [Virginia Rails]
breed in Fresh Pond swamps in their
usual numbers. Fresh Pond has been nearly
barren of water fowl. He has seen no Ducks
there except 4 Ruddy Ducks in October.
In the Garden to-day I saw 1 Chickadee,
3 Fox Sparrows, 1 Junco, 3 Goldfinches.
E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] started for Bangor this morning &
