Lake Umbagog.
1900.
Sept. 7
  Brilliantly clear with cool bracing air and light N. to
N.W. wind.
  To Moose Point at evening with George Farnsworth.
I placed him near the end of the Point and chose for
myself a station further along the shore to the north ward.
As twilight was falling between 30 & 40 Black Ducks came
into the marsh in small flocks & singly. None of them
passed within range of me but George fired a number of
shots and killed one bird. Several Great Blue Herons
came over the marsh but the reports of George's gun quickly
drove them away. As it was getting dark I heard
Snipe scaiping and one bird alighted near me with
a loud rustling of wings as it shot down from above.
