Ther [Thermometer] Friday, Mar. 10, 1916 [March 10, 1916]  Wea [Weather]
Stormy.
Dark cloudy with more snow
inconsiderable in total amount
but falling almost ceaselessly in
large, scattered flakes through
forenoon. Temperature rising to
about freezing point as day advanced
melting most of snow on branches
of trees.
  In Garden: only a very few
birds including an im. [immature] White-throated
Sparrow, 6 or 8 House Sparrows, one
or more Crows (heard). Saw
no Robins but Henry Spelman reports
one in his grounds this morning.
There is nothing to attract them
here now for they have completely 
stripped the Parkman's apple tree.
  Worked all day on the egg collection
picking out duplicates & rectifying
imperfect data wherever possible.
Months might profitably be devoted
to continuing this task if I only
had them to spare for it.

Ther [Thermometer] Saturday, Mar. 11, 1916 [March 11, 1916] Wea [Weather]
20 [degrees], 30 [degrees] Fine
Clear with light westerly wind
and rather low temperature
the snow thawing but little
although sliding off Museum
roof in rumbling avalanches
during midday hours.

In Garden: a general dearth
of birds. 2 Chickadees & 2 Peabody
birds with above a dozen House
Sparrows and one or two loud-
screaming Jays were all I noted.

  Spent day in Museum
working on egg collection, picking
out duplicates, discarding sets
with unsatisfactory data,
rearranging very many others.
The great beauty & interest of
many of the specimens impresses
me deeply and I love to handle
and admire them. I still retain
a few single end-blown eggs taken
in 1865 or perhaps earlier.
  Dick Dana called at 9 P.M. bringing his
son Dick. They stayed about an hour.
