Cambridge.
Ther [Thermometer] Tuesday, Aug. 25, 1914 [August 25, 1914] Wea [Weather]
Fine.
Clear & cool with fresh N.W. [northwest] wind.
  Heard migrating Warblers passing over
at 11.30 last night. Several of them flitting
through tree tops in Jungle at 8 A.M. & later.
One clearly seen through glass & certainly identi-
fied proved to be a Tennessee [Tennessee Warbler], another a
Nashville [Nashville Warbler]. Another that I failed to view well
chirped like, and doubtless was, a D. virens [Dendroica virens].
They were accompanied by a silent Vireo
flavifrons in handsome plumage. Heard
a Rose breasted Grosbeak utter both the clicking
& the autumnal, Bluebird-like call, at first
about 8 A.M. in the lindens, later in trees
by Museum pond. A Red-eye [Red-eyed Vireo] sang briefly at
9 A.M. A Swift & a Cedar bird heard in
air over Garden, a Downy in the Jungle.
Cicadas frying at intervals. Tree Crickets in
full chorus & rapid beat all last night & this.
  Spent day in Museum working on Flicker
story. Rewrote page composed yesterday and
added a trifle more then another. Gilbert off
with the ladies in the Ford car, morning 
& afternoon. Victrola music after dinner
& supper. Depressing war news. Germans winning.
