Lake Umbagog, Maine.
1894
Sept. 15
  Clear & very warm. The Lake was as smooth as a
mirror the entire forenoon & most of the afternoon
as well.
  Immediately after breakfast I paddled across
to the Outlet, thence down the river to Richardson's
Carry & to home seeing absolutely nothing but one
Sheldrake & a few Savanna Sparrows. The great
marshes were silent & apparently deserted but
I did not land and search for Snipe.

  In the afternoon I took half-a-dozen photographs 
of our cove and point.

  There was a full moon to-night and during
most of the evening a pair of Great Horned Owls
hooted in the woods behind camp, answering
one another.
