Stormy.
S.E. [South east] rain storm beginning about
9 A.M. & lasting into night.
  Spent entire day on house boat.
In A.M. Jim & I overhauled the
hunting boat which has been
leaking badly & mended it by plugging
holes & using white lead freely.
 Read "Nat. Hist.[?Natural History] Straits Magellan"
in P.M.
About noon Gilbert & I saw a
Green Heron. It came flying past the
house boat & alighted in dead tree
within 30 yds. [yards]. I have but one previous 
record for Umbagog. Muskrat 
swimming back & forth across our
cove all day, sometimes diving
for mussels in one place ½ hour 
at time. [?tree] [?unclear] caught a
1 ib [pound] trout under the Lake House
shore last evening.

L. [Lake] Umbagog.
Ther. [Thermometer] Sun. [Sunday] June 6, 1909 Wea. [Weather]
Partly cloudy.
Forenoon cloudy; afternoon clear.
Cool with light, variable winds.
  Spent forenoon on house boat
tinkering the sailing canoes both
of which leak. Starting after dinner
Jim paddled me up Cambridge River
to Forks. I fished all the way using
flies & bait by turns but not a trout
did I strike or see, although several
have been caught here of late. I
enjoyed the trip exceedingly. The afternoon
was perfect & there were no biting insects
of any kind. Bird life was abundant, 
quite up to old times in fact. Saw 2
Whistlers, a Fish Hawk, a Broad wing,
a Blue Heron. Heard immeasurable Warblers
among them a Cape May, a Bay-breast &
a Mourning. Also a Three toed Woodpecker 
2 Winter Wrens etc. Saw 5 or 6 [?unclear].
Only a few deer tracks. Got back at 7.
