Lake Umbagog, Maine. 
Lakeside to Bethel.
1893.  
Oct. 16.                                                                                       
  Colder , the wind north west and still blowing strongly.
Frequent squalls with snow or hail.
  Left Lakeside at 9 A.M. and drove through to Bethel in
about 5 hours. Roads in terrible condition after the recent
heavy rain. A great many small birds by the way, chiefly Juncos,             
Song and Tree Sparrows, Whitethroats, Jays, Robins etc. Flocks
of Titlarks whirling about the fields on Upton Hill and in Graf-
ton. A fine old Red-tailed Hawk perched on a tree by the road -                
side just above the Notch. A Lincoln's Sparrow plainly seen                       
and positively identified in Newry. It was feeding in the road
and flew to a fence rail when disturbed by our approach.
