Glorious
Young Robin intangled [entangled] in leaves & twigs
Brilliantly clear with strong, cool, bracing
N.W. [northwest] wind.

  In Garden: 2 Robins singing, several spotted
young, one found dead on ground under
drooping branch of linden to which it had
inadvertently lashed itself irretrevably [irretrievably] by getting
a pliant twig & several leaves entwined in
& around the primary quills of one wing.
(I shall send it to Frazar tomorrow to be
skinned). Only one other bird heard singing
- an Oriole in the Jungle. He had an
unusually varied song and a rare flute-like
quality of voice something like that of the 
British Blackbird. I listened to him thrice
before feeling sure that he was an Oriole.
A dozen or more Crow Blackbirds, mostly
chattering young, were raiding the ripening
cherries all day. Heard Swifts at evening.
  Spent most of day in house &
Museum, reading & writing & packing
for trip to Wolfeboro & Bethel. Because
of a neuralgia attack sent for Dr. Jowitt
in P.M. He could discover nothing very 
much the matter with me. Victrola
music this evening.

Cambridge - Wolfeboro
Annual Meeting Academy Trustees
Ther [Thermometer] Friday, June 23, 1916  Wea [Weather] Fine
Red-headed Woodpecker
  Clear with strong cool N.W. [northwest] wind.
  Leaving Boston at 8.50 A.M.& traveling
thence by way of Dover & Rochester I reached
Wolfeboro at 1 P.M. & went at once to Mr. Haley's
house. After a good luncheon he & I walked
over Academy grounds where we saw a handsome
Red-headed Woodpecker among the elms shading
roadway to our ball ground. He flew on ahead from
trunk to trunk & then turning back circled low
over us on set wings. Started a Meadow Lark [Meadowlark] &
heard a Savanna Sp. [Savannah Sparrow] in our grass field. No Bobolinks
there. Comparatively few birds along village street,
noted there a Warbling Vireo, Least Flycatcher, 2
Wood Pewees, several Chippies [Chipping Sparrows] Robins etc. Many
Swifts at evening & usual colony of Martins at
bird houses on barn S. [south] of our grounds. No
Eave Swallows about Academy but their old nests
intact & tenanted by House Sparrow. Ordered them removed.
  Trustees meeting began at 2.30 when party returned
from trip over lake. Present: Abbott, Estabrook, Haley,
Galloupe, Young, Scott & Evans (our new member). Adjourned at
5.30 to enjoy perfect dinner cooked & served by our
pupils in Brown Dormitory. Graduating exercises 8-10
P.M. very good. Continued Trustees meeting (in library)
10.15-12 P.M. [10:15 P.M.-12 A.M.] Mostly routine business &
no "clashes".
