Lake Umbagog, Maine
1895
Sept.17
  A wild day with violent N.W. wind & great masses of dark
clouds driving hurriedly across the sky.

  We all went up the Magalloway for the day, C. & E. R. S. rowed
by Will Sargent in the large boat, I in my cruising canoe.
In the Androscoggin, a little below Leonard's Pond, I came upon
a Whistler close inshore & shot it. It proved to be a wounded
bird having the tip of the wing broken. It was in precisely
the same nook on the 10th.

  Turning into Pine Hill Pond we landed and lunched on a
high bank carpeted with bunch berries & sheltered from the
wind by a dense growth of young balsams & spruces. A
solitary vireo kept flitting close about us the whole time we
were there scolding us unceasingly precisely like a bird anxious
about its nest or young.

  After lunch we rowed to Horse Shoe Bend where we landed
& took a walk along the road towards Errol. Few small
birds visible. An Osprey poising over the river.

  Started back at 4 P.M. meeting Jim on the way. On reaching
Leonard's Pond I took a few photographs of the fine sunset
& shot a Winter Yellow-Legs in the left hand leg of the pond.
The other boat went further in & started two Wood Ducks

  During the trip up the Magalloway I saw only two
Ducks, both Wood Ducks. I also saw two Spotted Sandpipers
& one Solitary.
