Ther [Thermometer] Saturday, Aug. 8, 1914 [August 8, 1914] Wea [Weather]
Fine
Clear, very warm, almost windless.
A rather humid & uncomfortable day.
  Very few birds about. A Red-eye [Red-eyed Vireo]
sang a little at early morn and 2
Robin still less at sunset. There
were Jays screaming in the Jungle,
a Flicker calling there, 2 Grackles on
the lawn. Late in the afternoon a single
Chimney Swift flew over high in air.
Soon afterwards I saw a male Sparrowhawk
just across the street in Hubbard Park.
He was preening his feathers in the
dead top of a Maple within 20 yards
of a house & allowed me to walk & 
stand directly under him.
  Worked all day on Kingfisher story
revising matter written yesterday &
adding almost 2 more pages.
Strolled through Hubbard Park in late
P.M. Returning tried to step over
chain at our driveway entrance & tripped
over it getting a rather nasty fall.
Miss Margaret Chapman called this evening
I saw her home.

Ther [Thermometer] Sunday, Aug. 9, 1914 [August 9, 1914] Wea [Weather]
Fine
Clear & warm with little or no wind.
  A Robin & a Red-eye [Red-eyed Vireo] sang briefly &
listlessly in early morning. Jays
screaming at intervals through day.
Flicker calling. Swift heard overhead.
[female] Yellow Warbler flitting about pond.
Male Gypsy Moths constantly in sight,
sometimes 4 or 5 at once. Looked for
females but could not find one.
No Tree Crickets heard as yet. They
usually begin several days - or rather
nights - earlier. A black Field Cricket
has been chirping in the Garden
for a week or more. I see Dragon
Flies there occasionally - one of the
big autumnal kind yesterday.
  Spent day in Museum writing 
letters & cheques. Leg rather troublesome
as result of fall last evening. Could
not walk much to-day.
Mary & George Deane came down this
evening to hear Victrola records.
