Ther [Thermometer] Monday, Mar. 30, 1914 [March 30, 1914] Wea [Weather]
Stormy
Dreary day with rain or sleet
falling ceaselessly from leaden skies
and a peircingly [piercingly] chilly N.E. [northeast] wind
Everything encased in a thick
coating of clear ice in early
morn but this melted or fell
from the trees before noon.
  The seed bed in front of house
was visited at frequent intervals
through day by Fox Sparrows (4), a
Tree Sparrow, Song Sparrows (4), & 
Juncos (20). The Fox Sparrows
sang gloriously every now & then.
One was a partial albino, having
almost the whole back snow white
& some white on lesser wing coverts
but otherwise it was normally
colored. Besides these Fringillidae
I saw no birds save a Pheasant 
and 2 Crows.
Spent most of day in house writing 
letters & bird notes. Short walk in
late P.M.
