Lake Umbagog.
Pine Point.
1898.
August 30
  Early morning clear, still warm. A strong west wind and drifting
cloud massed during the remainder of the day.
   The night was clear and warm. Heard Warblers lisping at intervals
but the flight was neither heavy nor continuous. From 7 to 8 A.M.
the Point was alive with small birds among which I identified
Chickadees, Canada Nuthatches, a Swainson's Thrush, a Black-throated Green
Warbler, a Blackburnian, two Black-throated Blue Warblers, a 
Solitary Vireo, a Red-eye, a Goldfinch, a Junco, a Rose breasted 
Grosbeak, a Blue Jay & a Downy Woodpecker.

  The two Vireos were in full song for some time; the Blackburnian
sang feebly for several minutes, at brief intervals.
  The Grosbeak, a young [male] with the whole breast suffused with
pale rose color, alighted in the tall pine in front of the
camp when he sat for several minutes calling tchick and
peer.
  At about noon Will Sargent saw a Hummingbird fly into
our open shed camp where it alighted on the corner of our
dining table. It may have been mistaken the dark crimson table cloth
for a bed of flowers.

  We spent the day down the Androscoggin - Will Stone,
George Farnsworth, Jim & I - going in four canoes and
visiting Sweat and Curtis Meadows and Errol Hill Pond.
I did not go in to the last, however, but waited by the
brook while the others went. Two Solitary Vireos were singing
near me and Jays screamed at intervals.

  There were no water fowl in either Sweat Meadow or
Errol Hill Pond but in Curtis Meadow we started 23
Black Ducks and two Wood Ducks, the latter from among the
the [sic] fallen tops at the inlet. Heard two Hudsonian Chickadees
calling near this inlet.
