70º max. [70 degrees maximum]   Clear.
Cloudless with high N.W. [northwest] winds.
Cool at morning & evening.
  Sailed over to the Lake House
after breakfast in gray canoe which
leaked badly. Jim rowed Gilbert [Robert Alexander Gilbert] over 
in our large boat. Took a lot of things for house boat which has
been painted green & is mostly tight.
Saw Alva Coolidge. It was too
windy to see or hear many birds. 
Jim rowed us back at noon. He &
Gilbert rowed me again in P.M.
I wrote up journal & notes in
my room. Supper at 6. After it
I walked eastward as far as Duck
Hollow. Roadside gay with flowers
of Shad bush, hobble bush, bird
cherry, [?] robin, purple trillium
Balsam, wild Strawberry, etc.
Glorious concert of Hermits [Hermit Thrushes], White-
throats [White-throated Warblers] & Veeries [veery thrushes], & Warblers- of [?]
[?]. Birds are found everywhere.

Ther. [Thermometer] FRI. JUNE 4, 1909 [Friday, June 4, 1909] Wea. [Weather] 
75 max. [75 degrees maximum]  Partly cloudy.
Forenoon sunny & warm. Afternoon
cloudy with fresh, soft S.E. [southeast] wind.
  Spent most of day at Lakeside
writing letters & journal. Walked E. [East]
along road after breakfast hearing the 
typical song of Phila. [Philadelphia] Vireo in poplar
near where my nest was taken. Got only a
glimpse at bird but feel sure of its song.
  Gilbert & Jim worked all day on house
boat. I rowed over & joined them
about 4 P.M. Heard only a few birds
on way. Saw a Muskrat. A good
many birds singing at evening. Their
voices drowned by trilling of Toads which
has been kept up ceaselessly night & day
since I arrived. The house boat is
anchored off my boat house & I
shall tie it up after this. Swarms 
of small bats about it. One has just
circled through our living room.
