Wolfeborough, N.H.
1894
June 19
  Intensely hot & sultry with thunder showers at evening.
  I went to Wolfeborough this morning by the 10.45 train
from Warren to attend the annual meeting of the Trustees
of the Academy. In crossing the the Lake from the Weirs
I kept a sharp lookout for Loons but saw only one,
a fine old bird.
  In Wolfeborough I heard a Warbling Vireo and an Oriole
(I. galbula) singing in the elms over the village street
and a Traill's Flycatcher in a thicket on the Academy
grounds. The Purple Martins have apparently increased
since my last visit (in 1890). Three large houses were
well filled with them but House Sparrows were mating in
two or three of the compartments. I saw the Martins
alight and perch for some time in some large pear trees
near their nests, sitting among the foliage.
  At evening Night-hawks were squeaking and booming
incessantly over the eastern edge of the town.
I heard no House Wrens this year.

  I left Wolfeborough this morning at 9 o'clock and after 
a trip around the head of the Lake in a steam launch
took a train from the Weirs for Warren which I reached
about 2 P.M. In driving on to Merrills' I heard several
Indigo Birds & Least Flycatchers.

  On reaching the house I found that Batchelder & Faxon
were about on the mountain. They returned a little
before dark. Faxon, who walked down, reported seeing
a small flock of White-winged Crossbills near the summit
and hearing two Wood Thrushes singing between the bridges at
the base of the mountain a mile above Merrills at about 2100 ft.
