Perfect
Clear, calm, mild, yet a trifle
chilly with a breath of E. [east] wind now
& then but a spring-like quality to 
the air.
  Garden birds: - Two gray Purple Finches
in Parkmann's apple 9.30 A.M, one of them
warbling sotto voce. Equally subdued, still
more musical & very much more varied
notes came at same time from a Jay in
pines beyond. He kept it up ceaselessly for
a minute or two and thrice repeated this.
Some of his notes very liquid & all pleasing.
One seemed to be imitation of Flicker's yew-isk
There was another Jay & Flicker & a [female]
Downy [Downy Woodpecker]. At least a dozen House Sparrows,
one pair entering hole in apple tree.
  Mary G. [Mary Greenough] & I walked to St. Johns [St. John's Memorial Chapel] & met C. [Caroline Brewster]
there. Sermon by Englishman, on "Mr." Washington
chiefly & very good, we thought. Returning
called at the Dana's, saw two of sons,
Dick & Harry (?). Their mother still in
hospital, recovering slowly. Home by 12.30
Wrote letters. Geo. & Mary Deane, Lizzy Dexter,
Miss Allyn & Harry Bartlett dined with us.
Mr. & Mrs. Will Jeffries & daughters called at
4.30. Victrola music afternoon & evening.

Ther [Thermometer] Monday, Feb. 22, 1915 [February 22, 1915] Wea [Weather]
Fine
Sunny but hazy, calm, mild.
  Garden birds: Flicker, 2 Blue Jays,
about a dozen House Sparrows and
a [male] Sparrow hawk, the last-named
engaged, at 1 P.M. in rapid,
erratic, plunging flight, accompanied
by shrill screaming, as is the 
habit of the species at this 
season and later. One of the 
swoops made by this particular
bird carried him down close
over the Museum.
  Spent most of day in Museum
working on Chimney Swift story.
Tried to keep ahead of C's [Caroline Brewster]
type copying in A.M. but she 
overtook me by 11 and after that
lost much time waiting for my 
final pages. There was another
composed later which finishes 
this brief but troublesome article, I trust.
Miss Balch & Mary G. [Mary Greenough] at lunch. Victrola
music after that & again this eve.
