Ther [Thermometer] Sunday, Mar. 2, 1919 [March 2, 1919] Wea [Weather]
46 [degrees] First Flicker Shouting Fair
  Partly cloudy but mostly sunny
& very mild, with little or no
wind. 7 snowdrops in bloom.
First bird voice of Spring that
of a Flicker shouting at short,
regular intervals, a score of times
at 11 A.M., somewhere up Sparks
Street not beyond the Dodge place
to judge from the sound of his
voice. How it carried me back
to early days when we used to
hear it so often along Vassal Lane
& in the Mt. Auburn region.
Garden birds: - House Sparrows 30+;
Flicker 1 [in full song]; Downy [Downy Woodpecker], [female] at suet;
Blue Jays, 2, Crows, 2 [in flight].
  Rose at 10.30 A.M. Wrote
letters in Museum. Miss Allyn
& Miss Hoppin at dinner.
A slight ill turn soon after it
deprived me of pleasure of seeing
the Thaxters & Alice Stone who
called on me later. But C. [Caroline Brewster]
came up to sup with us &
stayed on until 8 P.M.
