  Saddleback Ledge. On our return up the bay (the wind was so
very light that we made but slow progress) we landed a second time
on this lodge. There were no Knots or Eiders there today but a 
pair of Herring Gulls were sitting on the rocks & after we landed they
followed us about & once one of them came flapping low over us calling
ha-ha-ha as if we were near her nest. The Terns acted as on our
first visit rising all together before we anchored and during the
whole time we were on the island keeping so high above us that they
looked no larger than Swallows. We photographed & took two of the
ten or a dozen nests that we found.
  After supper this evening Watrous & I walked through the beautiful
wood road that leads to the western shore of the neck. We heard singing
two Hermits & three Golden-crested Kinglets besides a number of
Black-throated Green, Yellow-rumped &[and] Magnolia Warblers & very many
Swainson's Thrushes. One of the Hermits gave all the notes of the 
species in quick succession, the song, the cluck, the sheep-like bleat,
the peer & the night call.
