Drive from Lakeside to Colebrook, N.H.
1896
June 14
  Cloudy & cool with strong E. wind.
  I spent yesterday & this forenoon packing. At 1 P.M. I started
for Colebrook with a pair of horses and Chandler as driver.
At Errol saw a pair of Rusty Blackbirds which acted as if
nesting. They were in a swale directly opposite the notch and
growing up to alders with scattered spruces, larches & balsams.

  As we approached the notch Juncos & White-throated Sparrows
became more numerous. On reaching the old Campbell opening
I got out and rambled about in the woods for fifteen minutes
or more. The only Warblers singing were a Blackburnian and
a Black-throated Green. I heard neither Black-poll Warblers
nor Rose-breasted Grosbeaks although both were numerous in &
near this opening June 1879.

  In the notch proper I heard a Winter Wren, a Yellow-bellied
Flycatcher, an Olive-sided Flycatcher, a Hermit Thrush & two
Olive-bellied Thrushes and saw a Robin carrying food in its bill.
Song Sparrows were singing near the Dix House and a Solitary
Vireo on the mountain side near.

  They are building a dam 25 feet high and moving the road
just below the Dix House the object being to form a trout pond
which is expected to cover about 30 acres.
  A few miles west of the notch I saw the only Phoebe met
with since I left Cambridge. Also saw a Bobolink & heard
another near Colebrook. Savanna Sparrows were seen pretty
much everywhere between Lakeside & Colebrook at least in
about all the fields & openings, wet or dry. English Sparrows
appeared 3 or 4 miles W. of notch & were seen all the way to
Colebrook.
