  Spent most of the day at camp working on the new dark
room with the men. Late in the afternoon walked with C. & E.R.S.
to Crockers Point seeing a female Partridge in the path near
the spring. 
  A small mixed flock of Titmice, Warblers etc. spent the
day in the birch grove on the Point but I could find nothing
of interest among them.

  Hylas and Wood Frogs called & croaked frequently during the 
afternoon & I heard one Bull Frog bellowing lustily in the 
direction of the Outlet.

  Soon after sunset I went with E.R.S. to the end of the Point
and sat there on the rocks until it was nearly dark. Three or
four Herons passed flying so low over the water that the tips of
their wings ruffled its glassy surface. The quacking of Black Ducks
& the hoarse barking of the Herons came at frequent intervals
from the marshes about the Outlet. A Bonaparte Gull, concealed
by the darkness but evidently flying about the Lake
called cree, cree a dozen times or more.

  At 9 P.M. we all walked through the woods to the base of
Crocker's Point to see the birches by moonlight. The moon was full
& the woods brilliantly lighted wherever there were open spaces.
There was not a breath of wind & the silence was fairly
oppressive. Indeed we heard nothing but the occasional lisp of
a migrating Warbler, the quacking of Black Ducks in the direction
of Moose Point & a sharp, loud sound like the stroke of an axe on a
resonant stub. The last was given only once.
