1894

(No 2)
Breezy Point, Warren, N.H. 
suggestion. (Hearing a Saw-whet Owl at L. Umbagog, in May 1896, for  the
first time I was struck by the resemblance i[t]s call bore to that of Gaucidium. 
Perhaps the birds at Warren mistook my imitation for the note of N. acadica.)
  The fire flies were out in great force to-night. They
seemed to be spread evenly over the whole valley and
were quite as numerous over the more elevated fields as
in the meadows and swales but they extended upward
only to the hollow just below Merrills or rather were 
not abundant above this point.
  We are told that the Whippoorwills are often heard
a mile below Merrill's and that Bobolinks occur
there also but we have not found either species as
yet. The altitude of Merrill's is said to a 1900 ft.
June 24
  Cloudy and cold with strong N. E. wind.
  I spent most of the day in the house
writing. After tea Faxon & I walked up the road
to the second bridge and back. Very few birds
were singing except Thrushes of which we heard
a number.
