Brilliantly clear with dry frosty air

  In Garden a very white Northern Shrike
perched in top of tall poplar in Jungle

  Leaving the house at 11 A.M., Henry & I
motored to Newton where we inspected Stanley
cars & were taken out by Mr. Wilson for
a short spin in one of them. Thence we 
kept on to Maynards but found that 
he was away from home - "on the Cape".
Returned via river parkway where, at
the rear of Watertown Arsenal we saw
a beautiful [male] Sparrow Hawk stoop down
to ground at base of big oak. Saw
only four water fowl in river, a pair
of Swans (near Arsenal) & 2 Herring
Gulls. Thence to Cambridgeport to call on
our old schoolmate "Bunemir " Roaf at
Savings Bank but he had just left it.
Tried to write something on Black-backed W. [Black-backed Woodpecker]

a dozen or more House Sparrows, 2 Jays &

Henry & I called on F.W. Putnam
in our old house at 10 A.M. He
received us most cordially &
stayed almost two hours talking
mostly about birds & Indian relics.
He retains much of his early interest
in ornithology. He showed me wings,
heads & roughly prepared skins of Terns
& Waders of several kinds that he
picked up dead 2 summers ago on coast
of Maine.
The Abbotts, Naida Merriam & Miss
Allyn dined with us. E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] returned
from Bangor last night. Victrola
music after dinner. I went in town
with Henry at 4.15 & saw him off for
Washington on Federal Exp. at 5.02 P.M.
More Victrola music & some reading this eve.
