Fair
  Cloudy with occasional brief
intervals of sunshine. Calm, mild.
  In Garden at 9 A.M. I say
6 Chickadees, a Jay & a [male]
Hairy Woodpecker (drilling into the
stem of an elder in the Jungle).
The Thrasher did not show
himself through the day nor
was he on his accustomed
perch in the vine at 5.30 P.M.
I hope no evil has befallen him.
  My day was devoted to work
on the Pigeon Hawk story &
mostly to revising it both before
& after C. [Caroline Brewster] copied it. This took
me until 4 P.M. after which
I completed another page which
ought to be the last.
  C has gone to the Symphony
Concert & E. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] to bed - after reading
"Ayala" to me for above an hour.

Snow storm
A storm, threatening & gathering
through the day, broke in late P.M.
Since then snow has fallen
ceaselessly, to a depth of perhaps
Two inches, & is still coming (10 P.M.)
  On my way out to Museum at
9 A.M. I heard the soft, Warbler-like
chirping of the immature White-throated
Sparrow which was here up to
December last & has not been seen
since. He was under a syringa bush 
near our kitchen door & remained
there all the forenoon chipping almost
incessantly, as is his peculiar habit.
5 or 6 chickadees also appeared at 9 A.M.
The Thrasher was not seen until
5 P.M. when he was at roost in the vine
  Worked almost all day on Pigeon Hawk story
revising it & composing still another
page. Began Sparrow Hawk story at
4 P.M. & wrote a full page before 6.
C [Caroline Brewster] & E. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] read "Ayala" aloud this eve.
