Philadelphia Vireo

plunging just as we reached the camp. During our walk I heard
several Vireos one of which was certainly a Philadelphia [Philadelphia Vireo] and two or
three Red-eyes [Red-eyed Vireo]. The Philadelphia [Philadelphia Vireo] had a wild, clear voice & several notes
almost exactly like a Solitary Vireo's but the intervals between the notes
were wider than with either the Solitary [Solitary Vireo] or Red-eye [Red-eyed Vireo]. I did not see 
the bird but it must have been a Philadelphia [Philadelphia Vireo]. There were no
Brown Creepers or Golden Crests & no drumming Partridge but Watrous saw a hen, of the last very near camp.

Evening at Leonard's Pond

  After tea at about 6.30 P.M. Watrous & I rowed across the
Lake and entering Leonard' s Pond passed around the north
side of the island and back by way of the Androscoggin &
Richardson's Carry. The water was so high that the only land
we saw was on the island. It took the full length of an oar
to touch bottom on the Moose Point marshes.

Black Ducks
Gooseander.
Bald Eagle
Marsh Hawk
Cat Bird [Catbird].
Song Sparrows.
Water Thrushes
Wilson's Thrush

  We saw three Ducks (two Black Ducks, a pair, evidently, and a
solitary [female] Gooseander, all flying) two very black Bald Eagles
(over on the Eagle tree, the other on a stub on the island) several
pairs of Bronzed Grackles, four White-bellied Swallows, a [female] Marsh
Hawk & a Crow. A Cat-bird [Catbird] was in full song on the island
and Song Sparrows were very numerous among the stubs hundreds
of yards from any dry land, but strange to say there were
apparently no Swamp Sparrows. The most numerous of the singing
birds were the Water Thrushes which literally swarmed especially
along the north shore of Leonard's Pond where five or six different
mobs were often singing within hearing at once, or, rather, they
sang in quick sucussion so that one song immediately followed
another. We also heard among the stubs or brushwood a Wilson's Thrush,
an Olive-back [Olive-backed Thrush], two Maryland Yellow-throats, and one Red-winged
Blackbird.

Gray-cheeked [Gray-cheeked Thrush] or Bicknell's Thrush

  Just as we were leaving the place a Thrush which was either a Gray cheek [Gray-cheeked Thrush]
or a Bicknell's [Bicknell's Thrush] gave the Nighthawk squawk a few times & then
began singing keeping it up for 10 minutes or more. It was among half submerged
