Tree Crickets Fair
Early morning & late afternoon
cloudy. Rest of day sunny &
warm with light southerly breeze.
Many trees now bare of leaves. The
glory of the maples & hickories a
thing of the past. Oaks still green.
  Not many birds. A fair number
of Juncos & a few White throats [White-throated Sparrow]
in orchard & bordering shrubbery,
Bluebirds flitting about the house
in elms & one male singing
delightfully in forenoon, several
Robins along lawn, two Pheasants
flushed by Burbank from the
corn in front of house, Crows
cawing far & near & flying singly
to & fro. Those were all I 
remember noting.
  Spent entire day out of doors
about the Farm superintending work
of men. Burbank & George picking
apples, Monson & Casper digging out rocks
Marjorie & Barbara Carter called in P.M.
[margin]Stepping out of doors at 10 P.M. I heard Tree Crickets in nearly
full chorus & rather loud voiced. The night calm, mild & cloudy.[/margin]

Ther [Thermometer] Wednesday, Oct. 20, 1915 [October 20, 1915] Wea
Rainy
Dark cloudy warm & almost
windless with light rain falling
through greater part of day.
  Very many birds in the lane
and close about the house, flitting
to & fro through trees & shrubbery
sometimes alighting on our shingled
roofs. There were at least 20 or 25
Juncos, not less than 15 Robins,
several Bluebirds, a Song Sparrow
and (I thought) two or three
White-throats [White-throated Sparrow]. The Song Sparrow
sang a little, brokenly, one of 
ten Robins rather freely & well.
I noted no other species.
  Spent most of day at the
Bungalow where Harris began
some cement work intended to
carry off storm water from eaves
gutters etc. Zeph & Burbank worked
mostly under cover, Monson & Casper
digging out earth in shed. George
picked apples despite the rain
