Clear, cold & windless.
  Two Tree Sparrows spent forenoon
where the one was seen yesterday,
feeding on seeds left there by
Gilbert last evening. There were
also two Jays screaming lustily,
as they flitted hither & thither
through the Jungles, & a Crow
cawing in the distance. As I
stepped out at 2 P.M. the
flight calls of Redpolls were heard
but none of this bird seen.
  Worked almost all day on
Barred Owl story adding 2 pp. &
finishing it by 5 P.M. After
that wrote about half a page
on Richardson's Owl - all there
will be to say.
  Miss Swazey lunched with us.
C. [Caroline Brewster] & I dined by ourselves. She
read aloud to me 8-9.30. "We Dine"
at Townsend's. My cough kept me at home.

Cambridge.
Otter shot in Buzzard's Bay last December.

10 [degrees], 36 [degrees], 26 [degrees]. Fine
Clear & calm with steadily rising
temperature. Snow melting fast
in afternoon. There is still the
very best of sleighing however.
  The Thrasher was seen in the
lilacs by both Percy & Gilbert
about 9 A.M. Shortly after this
I saw a Chickadee, a House 
Sparrow, 2 Jays & 2 Downy
Woodpeckers, [male] & [female]. A crow heard.
  C. [Caroline Brewster] copied the remainder of the
Barred Owl story this forenoon.
While she was doing so I wrote
a short page each on Richardson's 
Owl & the Screech Owl and she
copied this matter, also. In
the afternoon I wrote a scant
page on the Snowy Owl &
began a Saw-whet Owl story,
blacking out the first page.
C. & Lizzy F. [Lizzy Fuller] on snow shoes 2.15-2.45.
At 3 a young man called bringing the 
skin of an Otter shot last December in
salt water off Coffins Beach, Buzzards Bay.
