Fine.
Clear & cool with light northerly
wind; Altogether a delightful day.
  In Garden a Jay, a Downy [Downy Woodpecker] (heard)
and half a dozen or more House Sparrows.
The Jay spent upwards of ten minutes
in the copper gutter of Museum roof
directly over my desk, tapping at the
metal every now & then much after
the manner of a Flicker. Indeed I
thought, at first, that this or some other
kind of Woodpecker was making the
sounds but finally stepped out & saw the 
Jay fly away.
  C. [Caroline Brewster] & I walked down to St. Johns [St. John's Memorial Chapel] together
this morning. Dr. Hodges preached an
exceptionally fine sermon, even for him.
  We had at dinner, besides Miss Allyn,
Mr. & Mrs. Almy. After it I played
the Victrola for them. Miss Allyn
loves its music.
  C. went in to hear Oratoria this eve.
I called at the Russells' (8.20-10) &
had a delightful talk with Joe.

First snow storm. Stormy
  Snow began falling before daybreak
& continued doing so until noon
when it turned to rain. It then covered
the ground to a depth of about 5 inches
nor did it settle much later. Streets &
sidewalks deep in slippery slush all
afternoon.
  In Garden; no birds noted except a few
House Sparrows.
  Spent day in Museum. Worked all 
forenoon on revision of Banded Woodpecker
story which C. [Caroline Brewster] was type copying.
Wrote letters in afternoon. Miss Balch
lunched with us & heard Victrola
music afterwards.
  Nuttall meeting this evening. Members
turned out well despite lowering 
skies & atrocious walking. John Murdoch
gave us a very interesting talk on
his bird nesting experience at Point
Barrow many years ago. Local field
notes few in number & of little interest.
