H.W. Henshaw departs. Fine
Sunny but partly cloudy & rather hazy.
Mild for season with light southerly
wind. A sprinkle of rain after dark.
  Not many birds save Juncos. Of
these at least 75 at Bensen's pasture
according to Henry [Henry W. Henshaw] who was there
golfing in forenoon. I saw about
25 at the Farm. Only one Robin
(in lane). 3 Starlings flying low
past house towards Lawrence's.
Several Chickadees & a Gold-crest
in Run. No sight nor sound of 
Pheasants. Only a few Gray Squirrels
about the place now. Saw one Red [Red Squirrel]
near barn. Also a big gray Cat
the first & only one this autumn.
Something killed & devoured one of our
hens last night leaving the cleanly-
picked skeleton in a freshly dug hole
a foot deep. No flesh whatever nor
any feathers but only the entrails & bones.
Found tracks that looked like a Skunk's.
Henry & I lunched on the hen Pheasant
shot yesterday . He motored to Cambridge
at 1.15-2.15 to take Federal Ex to W. [Washington, D.C.]
I spent most of the day with the men.

Stormy
Raining all day at times heavily.
Strong, cold Northerly wind settling
in N.E. [northeast] at nightfall.
  A solitary Robin & a dozen or more
Juncos seen along our lane were
literally all the birds I noted.
  Spent entire day in wood shed
where Harris relaid part of the 
brick floor and put up a very
pretty wall of gray stones on both
sides of fire place, replacing much
inferior ones erected by Mills many
years ago. Burbank at carpenter
work in garret. George sawing wood.
Zeph hewing oak planks. Monson
& Casper did not appear.
I rearranged my tool closet & 
planted a lot of bulbs in front
of shed.
  Oak foliage showing a good deal
of fine wine red coloring these past
few days.
