Ther [Thermometer] Friday, Sept. 3, 1915 [September 3, 1915] Wea [Weather]
Fine
Clear, calm, warm but without
humidity. Altogether a delightful day.
  Leaving Farm at 8 A.M. Gilbert [Robert A. Gilbert] & I
motored to Cambridge via Carlisle bridge,
Bedford, Lexington & Trapelo Road.
The only birds, besides House Sparrows,
seen during this ride were a few 
Crows & about a dozen Crow Blackbirds
the latter feeding in a pasture.
  On reaching home I went through 
Garden & Jungle but both were almost
birdless save for the presence of 5 Robins,
a Water Thrush, a Crow Blackbird, a Jay,
a Red-eye [Red-eyed Vireo] (singing softly) a few
House Sparrows & a Warbler heard
chirping but unseen & unidentified.
  To Boston at 10 A.M. Went direct 
to Office & met Mr. Haley there by 
appointment. Had long talk with him
about various matters. Home by 1.35
to find H.W. Henshaw awaiting me (C. [Caroline Brewster] had
met him at Back Bay at 10 A.M.).
In P.M. we walked to Elmwood meeting
there by chance Joe Sween, our old
classmate. Harry Bartlett called this eve.

Cambridge - Bethel.

Ther [Thermometer] Saturday, Sept. 4, 1915 [September 4, 1915] Wea [Weather]
See Sept 27. Heavy nocturnal Warbler flight. Fine
  Brilliantly clear & oppressively warm
& humid with light southerly wind.
  Henry H. [Henry W. Henshaw] & I left home at 8 A.M. to
motor to Porters Station whence we took 8.10
train to Boston & 9 A.M., Eastern Div.,
train thence to Bethel. We reached
Portland at 12.15, dined in Union Station
there, left at 1.12 & reached Bethel at
4.30 going through all way from Boston
in same parlor car. Fields & pastures
everywhere as uniformly green as they
ever are in May & tree foliage very
luxuriant & deep green with here & there
a touch of brilliant autumn coloring.
Noticed no birds save Crows and two
Kingbirds in upland fields and three
little Peeps by the bay shores in Portland. 
Henry & I read & talked by turns as
we journeyed on together, sweltering
in the sun-heated railroad car.
  Dr. Gehring met us at house & at once
took me to his flower garden. Never have
I seen one better stocked with brilliant flowers!
Spent part of evening in lounge, part at Bethel Inn.
Migrating Warblers chirping incessantly as we 
walked home at 11 P.M. Evidently a heavy flight
of them passing. No Thrushes heard.
