  I also saw five Black Ducks this forenoon. They rose
from the water on the further side of the river opposite
the cabin when I went to the landing to put a 
sail into one of the canoes.
  During my work this afternoon I came upon
a number of small birds feeding in some young birches.
There were at least five Juncos and three or four
Yellow-rumped Warblers with a sparrow of some kind.
I also heard Jays screaming and a Red Squirrel chirping.
