Ther [Thermometer] Tuesday, Aug. 29, 1916 [August 29, 1916] Wea [Weather] Perfect.
C. [Caroline Brewster] goes back to Williamstown
Brilliantly clear & moderately cool with light W.[west] wind.
  The Garden & its encompassing woods & thicket
seemed to harbor only a few birds just after
breakfast. Indeed I traversed all its devious
shaded byways then without seeing anything
more than 3 or 4 Robins, a couple of Jays.
3 ad. [adult] [male] Goldfinches among the wild sunflowers,
an Oven bird [Ovenbird] & a Redstart in [female] plumage, in 
the lilacs. Later in the forenoon the Robins
increased to 10 or 12 & a Downy [Downy Woodpecker] was heard.
About 5 P.M. when the open space around
the sun dial was filled with mellow light
from the low westering sun half a dozen
Swifts appeared over it & almost as many
Orioles, one an ad. [adult] male, flew back & forth across it
alighting in tall, dense foliaged trees. There was
also a young Magnolia Warbler whose rich 
yellow plumage showed conspicuously as he flitted
in full full sunlight for a moment at edge of lilacs.
Another Warbler, in Birch Grove, looked & acted like
a Canadian but could not certainly be identified as such. 
  C. [Caroline Brewter] left me at 10.30 to motor into Boston
whence she took 1 P.M. train for Williamstown.
  I worked on Concord bird notes all day. Called
at the Fairchilds 5.30 P.M. & later on Harry Spelman
in his garden.

Cambridge - Boston - Concord.
Ther [Thermometer] Wednesday, Aug. 30, 1916 [August 30, 1916] Wea [Weather]
Fine
Clear with light southerly wind.
Warm through day, very cool at morn [morning] & eve [evening].
  Garden-well-nigh barren of birds. At
7 A.M. I went through all the paths
without seeing or hearing anything but
an Oven bird [Ovenbird] & 2 Swifts. An hour later
4 Robins appeared in the rum cherry tree
& 2 cock Goldfinches among the sunflowers
which a female Mniotilta was seen in Hubbard P. [Hubbard Park].
  To Boston at 10.30. 100 or more
Her. Gulls [Herring Gulls], mostly im. [immature], [?] off bridge.
Went direct to our office. Attended
meeting Grenfell Directors there (11.30-12.30)
lunched at Marston's & took 2.40
train to Concord where Gilbert [Robert Alexander Gilbert] met
me. After reaching Farm strolled
about it with Timmy [Brewster's dog]. In Berry Pasture,
towards sunset, saw or heard at least 
8 Catbirds (5 together) a Crested Flycatcher,
a Kingfisher at Pond, an ad.[adult] [male] Chestnut
side Warbler [Chestnut-sided Warbler] in what looked like worn
breeding plumage, a Maryland Yellow-throat [Maryland Yellowthroat]
9 Swifts mig. [migrating] due S. [south] high in air.

  Leaves emerald green, great show of Phlox
& Zinnias, big saucer strawberries for supper.
