8 [8 degrees]                      Fine
Clear & cold with brisk northerly
wind. Real winter at last.

  
  I saw the Hudsonian Tit at
the suet no less than six times
at 9.20, 9.25, 9.40, 11.20, 11.50
A.M. & 1.45 P.M. During the 
last three visits he remained 30, 35,
& 15 seconds respectively. He
indulged in a variety of calls which
I noted as heard & shall record in
my journal. Saw only one other
bird, a Black-cap Chickadee [Black-capped Chickadee] (at suet).
Worked in Museum all forenoon
& up to 4 P.M. writing 3 pp. [3 pages] on
Greater Yellow-legs. At 4.30 took
cab to [Becker's Greenhouse?] to buy
plants (azalea & white lilac) for present
to C.[Caroline] Next to Square for hair cut.
Next in town (6.30). Dined at
Athletic Club. To Botanical Club meet
at 8. Brainard on violets. Interesting.
Home by 11.30

  Saw Hudsonian Tit only twice, in
front of Museum with Black-cap
Chickadee at 3.40, at suet by my
window at 4 P.M. Walter Deane
with me but he failed to see bird
which was very shy & restless. It
came to suet in silence & stayed
only a few seconds I thought but
could not be sure as I did not 
actually see it arrive. Heard
a crow cawing in early morn.[morning]
Worked most of day on Greater
Yellow-legs [Greater Yellowlegs] story, writing 2 pp. [2 pages] &
practically finishing it.
C. & E. read aloud to me this eve.
