Lake Umbagog.
1909.
June 4 [June 4, 1909]
  Ever since I arrived Toads (Bufo americanus) have kept
up a ceaseless clamor by night and day. I heard it constantly in
the distance while at Lakeside and now it is simply deafening
about the house boat anchored near the mill in Upton, where I am
spending the night. On paddling over to the flooded meadows & the
river just before dark I passed hundreds of Toads which were
floating or swimming dozens of rods from shore in deep water but
none of these were trilling. I have heard neither Frogs nor Hylas
about the lake as yet.
Toads
trilling
  Swarms of small Bats flying low over the water of the
lake this evening occasionally striking its surface lightly. One
entered the living room on the house boat & circled over my lamp.
Bats
  Heard the song of a Philadelphia Vireo this morning. The
bird was in an aspen near where I found my nest. I saw it only
imperfectly. Song typical very slow with one loud staccato note
also typical of the species. A Red-eye that I saw sang equally
slowly averaging only forty notes to the minute.
