Ther [Thermometer] Wednesday, Mar. 3, 1915 [March 3, 1915] Wea [Weather]
Fine
Clear & cold with strong, 
harsh northwest wind.
  Garden birds. A gray Purple Finch
 in Parkmann's apple. 3 Jays &
a [male] Flicker on ground beneath it.
All these together about 9 A.M.
apparently eating its fruit.
At same time I saw two
Downy Woodpeckers ([male] [female]) together
in a cherry tree & a Junco
flitting through the lilacs. 
House Sparrows almost as usual.
  Worked all day in Museum 
chiefly on Crested Flycatcher
story. Wrote scarce more
notes than a page of introductory 
material, and only another
of compiled field notes.. 
  Cold less troublesome
although still mean enough.
  Played German records for
Mrs. Kreidle after lunch & Gluck
ones this evening.

Cambridge.
Ther [Thermometer] Thursday, Mar. 4, 1915 [March 4, 1915] Wea [Weather]
Fine.
Clear & cool with fresh westerly
wind much less piercing than that
of yesterday.
Garden birds: - A Flicker, 2 Jays,
about 10 House Sparrows.
  Cold passing off. Put in a 
rather full day at my desk.
In forenoon compiled three pages
of field notes for Olive sided
Flycatcher story which C. [Caroline Brewster] was
type-copying, thereby getting it
well started. In afternoon
composed about a page & a half
for the Phoebee [Phoebe] story to
which no more need be
added, I trust. We had reading
in the hall this evening.
  C. has nearly lost the sight of
her left eye. Dr. Williams has examed
it twice within the last few days.
He says nothing can be done. The
trouble began four or five months ago.
