Ther [Thermometer] Friday, Aug. 14, 1914 [August 14, 1914] Wea [Weather] 
Fine
Clear (except for brief periods of 
cloudyness [cloudiness]) and rather warm with
light westerly wind.
  The Garden almost barren of bird life
again. A chirping, unseen Warbler, 
probably the [female] D. aestiva [Dendoica aestiva], several
screaming Jays, a chattering Oriole
and a Red-eye [Red-eyed Vireo] singing a few notes
were all the birds I noted there.
A pair of adult Robins accompanied 
by 2 young, still bob-tailed & feeble
of flight, were on the lawn at 
sunset. I saw a Grackle & heard a
Flicker there this morning.
  Tree Crickets chirping rather briskly
this evening, at lease two of them
in the lindens where I have heard
none before this year.
  Worked all forenoon on Kingfisher
story adding a couple of pages & thereby
finishing it. C. [Caroline Brewster] copied 4 pp. [pages]
Began Hairy Woodpecker after dinner & wrote 1 p [page].
Frank Manning called at 3 P.M. Mrs. Cobb
supped with us & spent evening.
[margin]Rum cherry by Museum gate ripening its fruit. Heard a Cedar Bird in or near it.[/margin]

Ther [Thermometer] Saturday, Aug. 15, 1914 [August 15, 1914] Wea [Weather] 
Fine
Clear & cool with light W. [west] wind.
  Very few birds about the place & none
in song. Heard the rather sibillant [sibilant] chirp
of a Warbler that was probably a Mniotilta.
Jays screaming as usual. A Crow
flying over; also a solitary Cedar Bird
heading for the rum cherry. A Robin,
6 Grackles & several House Sparrows, 
on the lawn. A [female] ad. [adult] Goldfinch
inspecting sun flowers. Insect live
rampant in Garden last night. 
Besides chirping & creaking Crickets
there were many nocturnal
stridulating Grasshoppers. Cicadas heard
daily in the Jungle, mostly after sunset,
sometimes two at once.
  Gilbert returned from vacation of
two weeks, motored me to [?] this
morning to have deed of Wolfeboro land
to Brown Estate executed. Car behaved badly
& taken to Ford place for repairs.
  Spent remainder of day at Hairy Woodpecker 
story. Rewrote page composed yesterday &
added another. Victrola at noon & evening.
