Ther [Thermometer] THURS. JAN. 2, 1913 [Thursday, January 2, 1913]  Wea [Weather]
Fine
Clear, calm, mild. Hoar frost
in early morning.
  In the Garden saw a Chickadee,
2 Tree Sparrows, 3 Juncos & a 
male Downy [male downy woodpecker] & heard a Jay. The
Juncos & Tree Sparrows were 
attracted by seen [seed?] thrown out for them.
One of the Juncos looked like,
and I believe was, a J. [jay?].
It had the forepart of head (but
not the rest.) conspicuously blackish
and a back as brown as that of a 
Hawk Sparrow feeding near it, and
a lot of rusty on its sides. All
this I saw from the Museum window
when the bird was on the ground
in clear sunlight about 15 ft. [15 feet] away.
Spent day in Museum working on
[?] Phalarope story. Wrote 5
pp. C. [Caroline] typing in forenoon.

Ther [Thermometer]  FRI. JAN. 3, 1913 [Frday, January 3, 1913]  Wea [Weather]
60 [60 ]degrees      Stormy
Uncomfortably warm with lowering
sky and heavy rain at intervals.
Cooler after dark with a full gale
blowing out of the nor' west [northwest]
before bed time.
  In Garden heard a Flicker
& a Chickadee and saw a
White-throated Sparrow. A handsome
one in nearly full plumage eating
seed under my Museum window.
Where can he have come from?
  Spent entire day in Museum,
taking lunch there, C. & E. having
gone in town. A heavy morning
mail forced me to write letters
through forenoon but after lunch
I began Wilson Phalarope [Wilson's phalarope] story
& finished with 2 pp. [2 pages] by 6.30 P.M.
We sat in hall after dinner C.
reading aloud.
[margin] Note from Cousin Minnie this

of Charlie Noyes's wife yesterday.
