Ther [Thermometer] Monday, Mar. 1, 1915 [March 1, 1915] Wea [Weather]
Fine.
Brilliantly clear & just seasonably
cool with light northerly wind.
  Garden birds: - A Junco flitting
2 Flickers in Parkmann apple tree.
One "shouted" long & loud, the
first time this essentially spring-like
sound has greeted my ears this year.
Either the same bird or another
afterwards drummed many times in
the Jungle. 2 Jays screaming there.
About a dozen House Sparrows
seen. 
  Worked all day on introduction
to Kingbird story rewriting all of
it already composed & adding
another full page. C. [Caroline Brewster] type copied
everything up to late in forenoon.
  Miss Mary Henders supped with
us & spent evening. I played Victrola
for her, my cold being so bad that
I dared not attend Nuttall meeting.

Cambridge.
Ther [Thermometer] Tuesday, Mar. 2, 1915 [March 2, 1915] Wea [Weather]
Fine.
  Clear and cool with high
north-west wind. 
  Only House Sparrows seen
about the place. Crows heard
cawing in early morning. 
  My cold "progresses" but not
"favorably" - to employ terms in frequent
use by war correspondents. Indeed it
was more abominably bad to-day
than yesterday yet I kept at work
from 9 A.M. to 6 P.M. on the
baffling Kingbird story - now
finished, I trust.
  The ground hereabouts has been
wholly free from ice and snow
for several days past but it is
hard frozen and barren looking.
