  There were comparatively few small birds in the woods                     
bordering Cambridge River to-day. Nuthatches & Chickadees were

and Purple Finches occasionally. Woodpeckers are remarkably
scarce this year. I heard only one - a Hairy - in the
Cambridge River woods.

  The woody banks of the river were everywhere tracked on
by Solitary Sandpipers but we saw none of these birds above
the dam although there was one on the marshes below.

  Two Deer, one a large animal, had left fresh tracks on
the shores of the "Middle Logon" and muskrat signs abounded
everywhere.

Ducks flying in the distance.
