snow this morning and continuing

covered the ground to a depth of an
inch or more. Light easterly winds.
  A Crow cawing in lindens at daybreak.
2 Jays flitting through Jungle at noon.
3 or 4 Chickadees visiting suet a little
later. Squirrels continuing to keep close 
although I see one or two out every
other day or so.
  Spent an hour after breakfast in Museum
rearranging plants. Met C. [Caroline Brewster] at St. John's

Ther [Thermometer] Monday, Jan. 5, 1914 [January 5, 1914] Wea [Weather]
Fine.
Clear and cool with light westerly
wind. Ground snow-covered everywhere,
the streets & sidewalks icy & slippery.
  Heard a crowing at sunrise and saw
3 Jays flitting about in the lilacs as I
was dressing for breakfast. A Chickadee
came later to suet by my study window.
House Sparrows seem to have altogether
deserted our place of late. I have
not noticed one thus far this month.
  Mrs. Dr. Worcester of Waltham telephoned
me this noon that she had seen a [male]
Baltimore Oriole this morning in a rather
thickly-settled neighborhood near the
Waltham Watch Factory. It has been coming
there for about two weeks, she was told, to
feed on Delaware grapes frozen & shriveled but
still clinging numerously to the vine on the
piazza of a house (#74) in Crescent Street.
She saw their skins strewn on the piazza
floor by the Oriole. He was a handsome bird
in fairly mature plumage she thought.
  I spent the day working on Broad-winged
Hawk story, rewriting several pp. [pages] of it. C. [Caroline Brewster] did
some type copying but i had not much for her.
  Nuttall Club meeting. Noble showed a
lot of lantern slides of Gulls, Terns etc.
