Bethel, Maine
1894
Aug. 25.
  Another clear warm day with a thunder storm in the early
evening after which the temperature fell rapidly.
  My trunk failed to come through yesterday so I could not
go on to the Lake this morning. While at the R.R. station
waiting for news of the trunk, I saw a flock of 26 Bobolinks
rise from a field of oats and pass out to the south of the
village.
  At 10.30 P.M. just after I had gone to bed I heard Grass-
birds calling and evidently flying low over the house. Judg-
ing by their cries there must have been a dozen or more of
them with at least one Summer Yellow-leg bearing them company.
Doubtless they had just come from Umbagog.
