Ther [Thermometer] Sunday, Mar. 15, 1914 [March 15, 1914] Wea [Weather]
Fine
Sunny, windless, very mild & spring-
like.
  Crows cawing lustily at sunrise,
Flicker shouting long & long at 9.30 A.M.
A dull-colored, immature-looking
Northern Shrike eating a House Sparrow
in Parkman's apple tree at 10.30.
W. Deane [Walter Deane] & I watched it tear out &
take off into Jungle a small piece of
red flesh which we then thought to be one 
of the tiny apples. It soon came back for
a large fragment which it carried off
to the westward in its bill & by that
time we had made out the Sparrow.
Going to it later I found little left save
tail, rump and legs in the fork of a
twig with both severed wings on ground.
  Spent most of day in Museum.
Felt too exhausted to go to church.
C. [Caroline Brewster] went alone. Walter called at 10.
Miss Allyn dined with us at 1.30.
C. & E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] read Barchester Towers this eve [evening].

to Mus. Comp Zoology [Museum of Comparative Zoology] where
I spent the remainder of the

Bangs [Outram Bangs.] Also saw Barbour but

in town & deposited $400. for me
in Suffolk Savings Bank. He
took me home in time for lunch.
Spent P.M. in Museum doing
various things. Nuttall Club meeting
this evening. Fine paper by G.M. Allen

Very good attendance.
