Ther [Thermometer] Sunday, Aug. 13, 1916 [August 13, 1916] Wea [Weather] Mixed
More migrants arrive.
Raining steadily from daybreak to 10 A.M.
After that alternating cloudiness & sunshine
with not infrequent brisk showers. Very
cool all day.
  In Garden. During the entire forenoon
there came to my ears, through open Museum
windows, no bird voice save occasionally that
of a Robin, a Goldfinch, a Jay or a Flicker. But
on entering the Jungle at 1 P.M.  I found
assembled there, feeding busily and silently in
the tree tops or their upper branches, 5 Red eyes [5 Red-eyed vireos]
(ad. & juv.) [adult & juvenile], a Chestnut sided Warbler ([female] juv. in full
aut. pl. showing no chestnut) [female juvenile in full autumn plumage showing
no chestnut) a Black & White Creeper
(juv. female) [juvenile female], 3 Bal. Orioles [3 Baltimore Orioles] (all young in aut. pl.) [all young in autumn plumage] & a
King bird. There were also several Robins & the flight
call of a Bobolink coming from afar. A young
Robin running over turf near back piazza while I
was dining there had a band of almost pure
white 2 or 3 inches broad across its back between
the shoulders & over its faintly spotted breast.
A single Swift at evening.
  Spent day in Mus. [Museum] writing letters & bird notes.
Walked up Brattle St. at sunset. Austin White
is remodeling old Nichols house rather extensively.
I met there a Mr. Jacobs & his wife. He came back
with me to see our Riedesel window pane.
  Solitary evening passed in reading.

Ther [Thermometer] Monday, Aug. 14, 1916 [August 14, 1916] Wea [Weather] Superb
54 [degrees] min [minimum], 70 [degrees] max. [maximum]
Typical autumn-seeming day, brilliantly
clear & bracingly cool with fresh, dry
N.W. [northwest] wind.
  In Garden: Nashville Warbler (juv. very tame) [juvenile, very tame],
2 or 3 ad. Robins [2 or 3 adult Robins] (on lawn), 2 young Jays
(in pale ragged pl.) [in pale ragged plumage] pair of ad. Goldfinches [pair of adult Goldfinches]
(eating seeds of wild sunflowers), young Oriole
(with Goldfinches on Sun-flower heads and
apparently eating the seeds), Flicker (calling)
2 Swifts circling low in late P.M., several
Crows cawing lustily (as if mobbing something,
possibly a Screech Owl) in Hubbard Park
long after sunset & indeed when it was
almost dark (rarely if ever before ave I
heard from any of them such an outcry so late
in the evening twilight).
  Tree Crickets chilled by cold & chirping only
feebly & intermittently. Butterflies of various
species occuring [occurring] rather plentifully about our
flowers. A big Swallow-tail ([?]) there to-day.
  My day spent happily. It was devoted partly
to writing out Concord bird notes, still more  
largely to pruning trees & shrubbery - with Percey's
assistance & Timmy's companionship, also.
