54 [degrees] Fine
  Clear and very warm with
light, soft southerly wind.
Snow settling fast everywhere
& vanishing completely on sunny
slopes where bare ground is beginning
to appear. A dozen or more crocuses

front of house & many snow drops in
front of Museum. Altogether the
conditions are now more suggestive
of spring than of winter despite the
deep snow drifts still conspicuous
almost everywhere.
  In Garden. Purple Finch (gray one) singing
sotto voce while hopping on snow under
Parkman apple tree; Chickadee & Peabody
bird calling. Flicker shouting in
Longfellow place. Nuthatch opposite it.

  First full Robin Song.
  Sunny but hazy. Clouds gathering
in late P.M. Almost windless but
with occasional light draughts of
easterly breeze. Many more
crocuses & snow drops out to-day.
Robin in nearly full song at sunset.
  In Garden: Purple Finch & Peabody
bird singing very low - almost in
a whisper - at intervals through
day. A Robin began singing just
after sunset & kept it up at intervals
for perhaps twenty minutes. How
good it was to hear his fervent
cheery notes once more where I
have so often first heard them in
spring about the same date or a
trifle earlier. 2 Blue Jays, a
Chickadee & a [male] Downy [Downy Woodpecker], also a Crow.
  Worked all day on the egg
collection. Representatives of [?] [?]
the three Boston papers (Journal,
Traveler & American) came out to 
photograph my Guacharo bird
(Steatornis) & to question me about it
because of article in N.Y.
Times about Roosevelt discovering it at 
Trinidad.
