  In Garden. A Goldcrest [Golden-crowned Kinglet], a Blue Jay

Peabody birds seen.
  Spent most of day working on Concord
field notes. A. C. Bent [Arthur Cleveland Bent] called in P.M.
to measure specimens of Black-throated [Black-throated Loon]
& Pacific Loons in my collection.
He is inclined to consider my supposed &
recorded Mandt's Guillemot from Cape
Whittle an immature Black Guillemot.
