Ther [Thermometer] Sunday, Oct. 3, 1915 [October 3, 1915] Wea [Weather]
Fair  
Thin cloudy with occasional brief
intervals of sunshine. Rather chilly
Light N.W. [northwest] wind. 
  A flock of about 25 Yellow rumps [Yellow-rumped Warbler]
in Birch Field. With them a juv [juvenile] [male]
D. caerulescens [Dendroica caerulescens]. More Yellow rumps
scattered, some on roof of house.
Solitary Vireo singing in Prescott's Pines.
At least 50 Peabody birds, a 
dozen or more Robins, a Nuthatch
& 2 Flickers in our dooryard elms
at noon. Just then a flock of 
9 Starlings came whirling past
and an ad [adult] [female] Red-shouldered Hawk
soared majestically overhead. There
was also a [male] Towhee in Forsythia bushes.
  Spent most of forenoon rambling
about through Birch Field and
Prescott Pines with Timmy. We 
both enjoyed it hugely. Dined at
1.30 at the Emersons with Mr. & Mrs.
& Ellen. They gave me some Sage Grapes
- the very best I ever tasted. Home by
4 to write letters until supper time.

Ther [Thermometer] Monday, Oct. 4, 1915 [October 4, 1915] Wea [Weather]
Perfect.
  Cloudless, windless and very
warm after 8 A.M. although there
was light hoar frost at sunrise.
Through midday hours Cicadas were
frying & Dragon Flies on wing. My
Zinnias are still making a brave
show. The autumn coloring is very
late & fully shown as yet only by
poison ivy & dogwoods but a few
red maples are beginning to color
and the gray birches were strongly 
tinges with gold this afternoon.
We picked our last high bush blueberries
- a full quart of fine ones - on Sept. 29.
  In late P.M. found at least 50
Yellow-rumps [Yellow-rumped Warbler] in Birch Field. A single
Black-poll [Blackpoll Warbler] with them. Hordes of
White-thr. Sparrows [White-throated Sparrow] ravaging the grapes.
They were going to roost in Berry Pas. [Berry Pasture]
at sunset. Also saw 3 Towhees together
there. A few Robins, 2 Cat birds &
a Solitary Vireo (singing) near house.
  Spent most of day transplanting
perennials. Walked to Birch Field &
Berry Pas. [Berry Pasture] with "Tim" in late P.M.
