Pine Point, Lake Umbagog, Maine.
1894.
Sept. 3.
  Warm with light S.to S. W. winds the sun shining dimly
through a dense smoky haze.
  The forenoon was spent overseeing the work of the men
about the camp. There were many small birds in amixed [sic] flock 
which wandered through the birch grove on the point passing
and repassing the camp several times. Among them I recogniz-
ed the Black and white Creeper, Nashville Warbler, Chestnut-
sided Warbler, Parula Warbler, Magnolia Warbler, Yellow-rump, and
a Red-eyed, Solitary and Philadelphia Vireo[delete]s[/delete]. The last was
very tame and I watched him for some time at close range. He
appeared to be feeding chiefly on caterpillars, - smooth, green-
ish or brown ones. I saw him take and swallow one which was
fully two inches in length. It gave him considerable trouble
and he was obliged to shake and beat it violently with his
bill before he could get it down.

  Late in the afternoon Jim took me through Richardson's
Carry to Leonard's Pond. There were three Lesser-Yellow-legs
on the mud flats about opposite the "Carry" and I killed two
of them at one shot.

  At the entrance to Leonard's Pond we found two sportsmen
from Philadelphia who had put out a number of canvas decoys
and were lying behind their canoe which they had turned up
