Flicker, 6 or 7 Crow Blackbirds.
  Dr. & Mrs. Gehring came from Bethel

Cambridge First Snow-drops & Squills
Ther [Thermometer] Saturday, Mar. 30, 1918 [March 30, 1918] Wea [Weather]
Fine
Clear, calm, warm. A really spring-like
day wholly free from chill.
Three snow drops & several Squills in
bloom front of Museum & one snow drop
on banking front of house. These
apparently the first to bloom within our
grounds. Elsewhere they have appeared
long ago I'm told. Denman Ross
has a fine show of them now.
  Garden birds. A Robin, several
House Sparrows & 3 Crow Blackbirds
were all I noted.
  Although House Sparrows are evidently
greatly reduced in numbers in this
neighborhood I saw at least 25 of them
picking manure to pieces on a lawn below
Harvard Sq. to-day.
Walked twice in Garden & motored
with Dr. Stevens to Cor. [corner] Broadway &
Quincy Sts. Latter trip used me up
rather completely for the time.
Evening reading in hall.
