Ther [Thermometer] Monday, June 17, 1918 Wea [Weather]
Fine
Clear & cool with light westerly wind
  Garden birds. 2 Robins singing, 8 or 10
ad. [adult] & young in cherry trees with a dozen or
more Starlings & as many House Sparrows.
Baltimore Oriole also eating cherries & 
singing freely betimes. This, no doubt, 
is the bird I saw feeding young in nest
at Mercer Circle on June 8. He has
a rarely musical voice & unusually
varied notes. We had also in the Garden
today a Red-eye [Red-eyed Vireo], 2 Grackles. a
Kingbird & a Wood Pewee, the last
heard only once. At evening 2 Swifts
were careering about overhead with
joyous twittering. Later still I heard
plainly & many times the paap flight
call of an unseen Nighthawk,
doubtless one of those breeding on Boston
roofs.
  Spent most of day in Museum
writing letters. C. [Caroline Brewster] walked twice with 
me in Garden & after supper we called
on Mrs. Cobb. C. is wonderfully improved
in health & spirits & still gaining steadily.
