Golden-wing Warbler in garden.

Incessant clear sunshine, light westerly
breeze. just agreeably warm, low humidity.
  In Garden: 10+ Robins feeding on rum
cherries by Museum gate; Golden-wing Warbler, 
Oven-bird [Ovenbird] & several Orioles (one ad [male] singing
brokenly) in Jungle; Black & White Creeper ([female] juv [juvenile])
& 2 Jays in lilacs; 2 ad [adult] [male] Goldfinches eating
wild sunflower seeds; Downy W. [Downy Woodpecker] [female] juv[enile] ragged
pl [plumage], in pear tree; Flicker & 4 Grackles on lawn.
Full chorus Tree Crickets after night set in.
Toads (big ones) scattered along gravel walks
(three in sight at once) just after sunset.
  Walking quietly along path through Jungle
about 9 A.M. I came suddenly on the Golden
winged Warbler[,] a young [male] in fresh autumn
pl [plumage] very olivaceous above, with black throat
somewhat obscured by grayish, and bordered
narrowly with yellow of which there was also a
good deal on his flanks. All this was seen clearly
as he hopped and flitted low down in a thicket
within 20 feet of me for half a minute, after which
he was seen no more. This is my first Garden
record for the species, if I remember aright.
   Spent part of day writing in Mus. [Museum], part reading
aloud to C. [Caroline]. She saw Dr. Quackenboss in
Boston this afternoon. He is not discouraging
about her eyes.

Fair
Sunny but hazy, almost windless, warm.
  In Garden: about 15 Robins, young & old, 
feeding on rum cherries by Mus. [Museum], also on ground
in Jungle; Mniotilta [female]; Nashville Warbler, dull-
colored juv [juvenile]; Black-poll juv [juvenile] aut. pl [autumn plumage]; Water Thrush;
2 Oven birds [Ovenbirds], 3 juv [juvenile] Orioles; 2 Jays; Red-eyed
Vireo, singing a little, feebly; - all these keeping
mostly in Jungle but also flitting restlessly hither
& thither about the entire garden; 2 Redstarts,
a handsome ad [adult] [male] & a [female] together & apart
from all other birds, in Birch Grove; Goldfinch [male] ad [adult]
at sunflowers; 4 Grackles on lawn & in trees;
2 House Sparrows; a Purple Finch, 4 [in a flock] Cedar birds [Cedar waxwings]
& a Swift (at eve [evening]), low on wing, the Cedar birds
flying from rum cherry tree; 2 King birds [Kingbirds]
perched on tree tops near Museum, calling;
Crows heard afar off. One restless Warbler
that chirped like a Tennessee & also looked like
one kept too high in tree tops, among dense leafage
to be certainly identified.
  Spent much of forenoon following all these birds
about, opera glass in hand. Wrote letters & copied
notes in afternoon. Towards sunset strolled with 
C. [Caroline Brewster] up Appleton & down Sparks St. All three Bartletts
called at 8 P.M. to hear Can. Aviator letters read by me.
