Walter Deane arrived soon after
breakfast bringing tail of large
Hawk shot by Mr. Mershom's
party in Alberta last autumn.
They thought it a Rough-leg [Rough-legged Hawk] but
it does not agree with that or with
any thing in my collection although
nearest Buteo Calurus, Walter & I
concluded after spending most of 
forenoon comparing it. After that
I worked on Purdie birds.
Mary Deane lunched with us

8 [degrees], 24 [degrees] Fine
  Clear & cold with light
northerly wind. Fine sleighing.
  In Garden: Chickadee, Downy [Downy Woodpecker] &
Crows heard; 2 Jays; 2
Tree Sparrows, 3 im. [immature] Peabody birds
and rather more than a dozen
House Sparrows assembled in 
late afternoon (4:30) to feast 
on seed that I had just
put out for them under the
lilacs. The Tree Sparrows mingled
with the rest for but a brief
interval and after that kept 
aloof, flitting hither & thither
among the dead stalks of perennial
plants rising above the deep snow.
  At 9:50 C.[Caroline] & I started to walk
to Harvard Square where we met
Lizzy Fuller & with her went in
town to church at St. Pauls. 
Home by 1. Alice Allyn & Lily Hoppin
