Ther [Thermometer] Wednesday, Mar. 8, 1916 [March 8, 1916]  Wea [Weather]
Stormy
  Dark cloudy with N.E. [northeast] wind
and large flakes of damp snow
falling all afternoon & evening clinging
to every tiniest twig & shading the
trees with snow foliage of exquisite
beauty & purity. Altogether this
latest snowfall must have added at
least six inches to the twelve or more
already covering the ground.
  In Garden: 13 Robins & 8 Cedar birds [Cedar Waxwings]
in Parkman apple [tree] at 9 A.M. They
remained in or near it through whole
day & by nightfall had stripped it
almost clean of fruit. Saw also 2
Peabody birds, a [female] Downy [Downy Woodpecker], a [male]
Flicker & a Blue Jay. Heard Crows
at daybreak. About 30 H. Sparrows [House Sparrows].
  Spent day in Museum writing
letters & working on eggs. Kennard [Frederic Hedge Kennard]
came over about 2.30 bringing a
Blue Goose, several Texas Black Ducks
(maculosa) & a Glossy Ibis [?]
which he had taken recently in [?]
He stayed until 5. H.M. Spelman called later.

Ther [Thermometer] Thursday, Mar. 9, 1916 [March 9, 1916] Wea [Weather]
20 [degrees], 30 [degrees] Fine
  Clear with light westerly
wind. Rather cold the snow
melting scarce any and now
everywhere at least 18 inches deep.
  In Garden: 13 Robins spending
entire forenoon in Parkman apple
tree and stripping it of all
remaining fruit apparently as well
as gleaning thoroughly all that
had fallen on the snow beneath.
What will the Flickers do without
it? I have not seen any there
since yesterday when a [male] [male Flicker] mingled
with the Robins seeming to regard
their presence disapprovingly I thought.
Two Peabody birds & half a dozen
House Sparrows at seed bed. A
Chickadee, 2 Jays, 3 Crows.
  Spent day in Museum. Worked
all forenoon on egg collection. Picked
out a lot of duplicate sets for
Miss Granger who came with Mr. Whittle 
at 2.30 & remained until 5.30. I
also gave her a lot of bird skins.
Spent evening in hall with C.[Caroline] & E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons]
