Ther [Thermometer] Monday, Aug. 10, 1914 [August 10, 1914] Wea [Weather]
Fine
Clear & hot yet not oppressively so.
Brisk westerly wind.
  A Robin & a Red-eye [Red-eyed Vireo] singing a little,
feebly & haltingly, about 6 A.M.
Loud & prolongued [prolonged] alarum among Robins
in Jungle in late afternoon. One of them,
no doubt a bob-tailed young, had evidently
been siezed by something, probably a cat.
The poor thing's pitiful cries grew fainter &
fainter & finally ceased before I reached
the place & when there I could find 
nothing. A Warbler that I failed to
see was chirping in the apple trees this
morning. I am reasonably sure it was
the [female] Yellow Warbler seen yesterday & before.
A very large Bat flying about low
over garden in evening twilight.
Have just been out (9 P.M.) to listen for
Tree Crickets but could hear none. One
Field Cricket chirping & many Grasshoppers
fiddling, in our flower beds.
  Worked all day on Kingfisher story
adding three pages, partly compiled.
C. [Caroline Brewster] type copied 4 pp [pages]. We had Victrola
music after dinner & also this evening.

Ther [Thermometer] Tuesday, Aug. 11, 1914 [August 11, 1914] Wea [Weather]
Fine
Clear & hot & rather uncomfortably
humid. Thunder shower at 9 P.M.
  A Red-eye singing listlessly in early morning.
A Robin uttering in late afternoon a
few subdued, but clear & exquisitely
modulated, notes of the normal song.
They were uncommonly impressive,
because of the "margin of silence"
Heard a Warbling [Warbler] chirping, probably the
same one noted yesterday & thought to be
a [female] Yellow Warbler. It seemed to be
again in the big apple tree. An Oriole
was scolding there, also. Where are
the Water Thrushes? And why do not
the Tree Crickets begin?
  Worked on Kingfisher story through forenoon,
compiling two pages from journal.
Had to give up after dinner because
the barked shin troubled so. Dr. Brown
came out to see it at 4 P.M. He said it had
been too tightly bandage [bandaged]. The removal of
the bandage gave speedy relief from what
had been really severe pain. I got back to
my desk at 6 & worked half an hour.
Victrola & reading in hall this evening.
