Lakeside - Colebrook - Wolfeboro - Cambridge.
1897.
June 15
  Forenoon clear and warm with light N.W. wind and
every sign of fine, settled weather at last but shortly
after 12 N. the wind increased and clouds overspread the
sky and before night we were treated to several brisk
showers. 
  The forenoon was spent in packing my trunk and putting
away the things that are to be left at Lakeside. Immediately
after dinner I started for Colebrook with Chandler in a
mountain wagon drawn by two horses. We had a pleasant
drive but I saw no birds of especial interest. Near Thurston's
in Errol we passed a Swainson's Thrush sitting on her nest
in a small spruce only three or four rods back from the
roadside. We reached Colebrook at about 6 P.M. After tea at
the hotel I walked about the village and its outskirts hearing
and seeing a good many common birds. There were fewer
Martins and more House Sparrows than last year.

  While on the house boat this morning I heard a House Wren
sing a number of times among the stubs near the base
of B. Point where I found a bird of this species last 
year.

  Clear and cool with strong N.W. wind.
  I left Colebrook at 6 o'clock this morning and reached the
Weirs at noon. The Trustees meeting had been held yesterday
& everybody had gone home. There was no way of going direct
to Wolfboro but I reached it that evening at 7 o'clock by
talking a boat to Center Harbor and driving around the 
Lake shore, via Tuftonboro &Lake Village. Spent the night at
Mr. Lord's & returned to Cambridge the next day.
