Lake Umbagog.
1896
September 26
  Clear and warm with light, variable winds alternating with
periods of calm.
  Yesterday and this forenoon were spent in "breaking camp"
and putting the things aboard the house boat. Immediately
after dinner we hoisted sail and tried to beat down the
Lake but the wind but the wind, light at best, failed
us utterly before we got to B. Brook Point so we
were glad to get a tow from the steamer the remainder
of the distance anchoring our boat off Lakeside shortly
after dark.

  A small mixed flock consisting of four Chickadees, a young
[male] Mniotilta varia, a Parula, a Black-throated Green Warbler,
a Chestnut-sided Warbler and a Solitary Vireo visited
Pine Point early this morning. As we were weighing anchor
I heard a Picoides arcticus and presently saw the bird
on one of the tall pines on the point. It is actually
the first that I have now noted this autumn.

  Yesterday I visited the Moose Point marsh to take some
photographs and found there three Ereunetes at which I
exposed several plates and an Otocorys alpestris which I
shot. The Lark was running about on the shore very near
the Sandpipers. I also saw a large flock of Grassbirds.

  Two gunmen whom I met said that they had killed
two Blue-winged Teal from a flock of about fifty
on the 20th in one of the ponds on the Megalloway.
