Lake Umbagog
Head of Lake
1896
June 11
  A wild, tempestuous day with violent N.W. wind and frequent
showers alternating with brief periods of sunshine. Cool.
  Watrons & I took the steamer up the Lake this morning as
we had some valuable nests to get in the neighborhood 
of Pine Point. There was a high sea running off the
Outlet but our little cove at Pine Point was almost
perfectly calm & the steamer landed us directly on the
float. Jim had spent the night at the camp but
was absent getting birch bark when we arrived.

  We first visited the Creeper's nest which yielded a beautiful
set of seven fresh eggs. We cut down the stub & took
the section to which the bark containing the nest was
attached.

  The Redstart who built the beautiful snow-white nest
of cotton wool (which we furnished her) near the end of 
arbor vitae branch in front of the camp had laid two
eggs.

  A Black & White Creeper was singing in the black growth
just east of the camp. He must have come there since
we left & is probably an unmated male wandering about.

  The Swainson's Thrushes were singing as usual & we
heard one or two Bay-breasts & Blackburnians but
the weather was too cold & windy for Warblers to
be singing at all freely.
