  Warblers were migrating in some numbers last night
and a mixed flock of about thirty birds spent the
day in the birch grove on the point "drifting" back
& forth & feeding busily from morning until night. I
reviewed them carefully & identified Parus atricapillus (6 or 8),
Sitta canadensis (3 or 4), Dendroica striata (2 juv.), [delete]Camp[/delete] D.
virens (1), D. caerulescens (1 ad. [male]), Compsothlypis americana (2 juv.),
Helminthophila ruficapilla (1), Vireo olivaceus (2 or 3), Regulus
satrapa (5 or 6). One of the vireos sang listlessly at intervals.

  I spent most of the day at camp but late in
the afternoon walked with C. & E.R.S. to Crockers Point.
Still later we sailed across to Moose Point in one of
the large new boats. It was delightful on the Lake
the wind having fallen to a gentle & peculiarly soft
balmy breeze. The mountains were veiled in a plum-colored
haze.
  Although the moon was full & the night clear & still
we heard no Owls. Great Blue Herons, however, were
continually passing & repassing the Point during the
hours when I was awake.
