Lake Umbagog
Pine Point 
1896 
September 21
  Clear and warm with light, variable winds.
  Spent the day at or near camp, most of it on the house
boat supervising the work of fitting up the cabin etc.
  Four chickadees, a white-bellied Nuthatch, two Golden crests, a [female] black-throated Green
Warbler, a black-throated Blue and another warbler which looked like a Tennessee but
which I failed to identify came about the camp soon after 
breakfast. Evidently most of the warblers have already departed.

  Crocker passed Pine Point at about 8 A.M. and landing 
on the big marsh spent the forenoon there looking for 
Snipe as I could see by the aid of my glass. He fired 
fifteen shots which indicated a fair number of birds 
flushed.
22 [September]
  Cloudy with two or three brief showers, the forenoon calm
the afternoon with violent north wind.
  I was again confined to Pine Point by the necessity 
of looking after the work on the house-boat which drags 
deplorably. Four chickadees, several Juncos, a Canada Nuthatch,
and a Hairy Woodpecker were the only birds I saw near
camp but I heard Pine linnets several times and even 
the chirp of a Warbler which I think was a D. virens.  
Out over the Lake I saw four Sheldrakes, a Black Duck, 
a Loon, a Herring Gull, a Marsh Hawk and a 
Great Blue Heron. Last evening a Herring Gull was 
flying about making its shrill clamor incessantly. This
was the first instance of the appearance of the species 
this month. Up to then very end of August I saw or
heard several daily.
