Bethel - Cambridge.
Ther [Thermometer] Tuesday, Sept. 7, 1915 [September 7, 1915] Wea [Weather]
Heavy nocturnal Warbler flight. Fine
Sunny but hazy. Rather warm with
light S. [south] wind.
  Left Bethel at 8.50 A.M. in company
with Dr. Breed of Cleveland, a bright
& agreeable man. We talked most of
way to Portland & parted there. I also
looked out of car window to see, in
passing through townships east of
Bryants pond, large flocks of Chippies [Chipping Sparrow]
& smaller ones of Robins & Bluebirds,
rising from fields as the train sped by.
Very little autumn coloring during
this part of the journey but several
maple swamps ablaze with it south
of Portland. Reached Boston, an hour
late, at 4.20 & Cambridge at 5.15.
Water Thrush & 2 Blue Jays in Garden.
Very many Warblers migrating
over it at 9.30 P.M. when I
heard them chirping almost
incessantly.
  Spent evening in hall. E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons]
read war news aloud & I played
Victrola music.

Cambridge.
Ther [Thermometer] Wednesday, Sept. 8, 1915 [September 8, 1915] Wea [Weather]
Fine
Sunny, hot & humid with light
westerly breeze. Altogether a very
summerlike & rather trying day.
  In Garden; a Robin, Water Thrush,
Goldfinch, Flicker, Blue Jay, Grackle.
Saw no other birds there although
there were many Warblers passing on
migration last night & a few to-night.
Tree Crickets fiddling briskly after
dark in numbers nearly, if not quite,
equal to those of years long past.
  Spent most of day in Museum
writing letters etc. Sent Gilbert to
Breck-Robinson Nurseries after dinner.
He returned about 3 P.M. with a
lot of German irises. Percy & I
planted some at once & packed
others to go to Concord or to several
friends including Alice Stone, D.C. French [Daniel Chester French],
& Dr. Gehring.
  C [Caroline Brewster]., E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] & I dined with the Cobb-
Fullers at 7 & spent evening there.
