Lakeside. Lake Umbagog, Maine.
1894
Aug. 28.
Lakeside.
  Clear with S.W. to N.W. winds.
  Spent the day at Lakeside takeing six photographs in the
forenoon before the wind rose. Heard a Partridge drumming and
saw a number of small birds but nothing of peculiar interest.
An Osprey was fishing about the Lake and three Ducks which I
took to be Whistlers were swimming and diving off the point at
the entrance to Sargent's Cove.

  The men came to see me about the work at Pine Point and
I arranged with Jim to engage Mr. Brown, Austin Aldrich (whom
we had last year) and Ellsworth Lambert. Will Sargent and
Charlie Tidwell are also to be with us as usual.
  In the afternoon I searched a little for Woodcock with the
black Cocker spaniel "Hadji" but found nothing. Elliot Rich
says that he has seen a good many Woodcock of late and that three
or four come regularly to his little vegetable garden at evening.
