Ther [Thermometer] Saturday, April 20, 1918 Wea [Weather]
30 [degrees]-42 [degrees] Fair
Forenoon sunny, afternoon cloudy.
White frost at sunrise. Very cool all
day but windless or nearly so.
  Garden birds. One Robin; a Hermit [Hermit Thrush];
a [female] Flicker, on lawn by sun dial;
a Downy W. [Downy Woodpecker] heard calling; a few
House Sparrows in lilacs.
No Robin singing in this neighborhood
for several days past - perhaps
because the weather is so cool.
Bronzed Grackles more numerous than
ever but also more widely and
generally distributed. In pairs or
trios I see them almost everywhere
throughout the city as far down
as Quincy St.
  Spent most of day out of doors,
superintending garden work
chiefly. Gilbert [Robert A. Gilbert] got a dozen rose
bushes & some other plants at
Breck-Robinson nursery & Percy & I
set them out in late P.M.

Ther [Thermometer] Sunday, April 21, 1918 Wea [Weather]
Stormy
Dark cloudy with strong N.E. [Northeast] wind
and almost incessant rain, very
heavy at times.
  Garden birds. A pair of Robins
  Took a solitary walk in
forenoon, up Brattle St. & beyond
almost to Gray's Woods - or where
these once were. Saw 4 or 5 
Robins & heard one sing.
Those about our place silent
for almost a week past. 
  Called on George & Mary Deane
in P.M. finding them both
in the old library where we
sat for more than an hour.
