Ther [Thermometer] Saturday, Mar. 7, 1914 [March 7, 1914] Wea [Weather]
Dull.
Cloudy, calm, mild. A few snow flakes
falling every now & then.
  A Flicker shouted twice in the
lindens at 7.30 a.m. It was the
first sound of spring for me. His
voice was full & loud but his calling
briefer than normal. 2 or 3 Chickadees
& as many Blue Jays visited the
Garden after breakfast.
  I worked on Hawk Owl story
all day adding 3 or 4 pp. & almost
going through to what is likely 
to be the end. There will have to be
a good deal of revision, probably,
& perhaps another day devoted to
this. I am doubtful, now, about
tackling the only remaining Owl, the
Great Horned, partly because there will
be scarce time to write all that must
be said, partly because I am very 
tired. At least two full days will
have to be given to other things before
the end of next week. 

Cambridge.
Ther [Thermometer] Sunday, Mar. 8, 1914 [March 8, 1914] Wea [Weather]

  2 Jays & 3 or 4 House Sparrows in

Dr. Hodges absent. Fairly good sermon
by one of his assistants. Music very
beautiful. Walked up with Robert
Weston (Smith). He says the Otter
whose skin was brought here the other
day was shot by his son in Westford
Mass. [Westford, Massachusetts], the extreme western township 
of our state bordering on Buzzards Bay.
We had Mrs. Edward Wyman, Miss
Barr & Miss Allyn at dinner. C. & E. [Elizabeth R. Simmons]
left soon after it to attend funeral of
Mrs. Wm Goodwin [Ellen Chandler Goodwin] who died on Friday
as did Ned Bartlett of Concord.
Dick Dana called at 4 & stayed an hour.
Two attractive boys from Georgia came
[?] 4.30. I asked them to return on Wednesday.
