Ther [Thermometer] Tuesday, Mar. 25, 1919 [March 25, 1919] Wea [Weather]
Fine
Brilliantly Clear, almost
perfectly windless, seasonably
warm. Very delightful day
of early spring type.
  Garden birds. Fewer than
yesterday, both in numbers &
variety, despite better weather
conditions. There I noted only
a Robin; a [female] Downy [Downy Woodpecker]; a
Hairy [Hairy Woodpecker] (heard); a Flicker [in full song],
several Grackles; usual
mob of House Sparrows.
  Rose at 11.30. Spent 
remainder or forenoon
in Museum & most of 
afternoon in garden
where I pruned rose &
other bushes & helped put
up some poultry wire.
Percy had his young chickens
out on lawn 2 hours

Cambridge. First Robin song.

  Clear, calm, very warm
A butterfly & countless honey

Song for 2 or 3 minutes at
evening. Last night, at I

pleasing sound came over
plainly to my ears thro
an open window of my room.

little, pruning a good deal
It did me lots of good.
