Pine Point, Lake Umbagog, Maine.
1894.
Sept. I
  For the past week we have had either cloudy or hazy weath-
er continually but to-day was perfectly clear and the mountain[s]
were quite [delete]clear[/delete] free from smoke. The wind was [delete]quite[/delete] strong from
the S.W.
  At 10 A.M. I boarded the steamer and went on her to Errol
where I expected to meet C. E.R.S. and Mr. Hubbard but only
the last-named came. In the Androscoggin we saw a Whistler
and a pair of Black Ducks; flying over the marshes a large
flock of Semipalmated Sandpipers accompanied by a Ring-necked
Plover. As I was walking from Errol Dam to the Umbagog House
I heard two Parula Warblers singing feebly insome[sic] elders near
the road.

  Mr Hubbard and I reached Pine Point at about 3 P.M. and
afterwards took a walk to the spring and around Osgood's Point.
We saw a Redstart, a Black-thoated Blue Warbler and an Olive-
sided Flycatcher. The last was perched on the very top of a
tall spruce whence it kept darting out after flying insects.
It was perfectly silent. I have never before seen this Flycatcher
in New England at so late a date.
