Lake Umbagog.
1909.
June 11 [June 11, 1909]
(No 2)
  Shortly after sunset a Pine Linnet perched in the
top of a white pine near the Lake Shore on the knoll behind
the Lake House sang practically without cessation for fully
five minutes. Its song was not unlike that of a Goldfinch
but feebler, higher pitched, and decidedly less musical, most
of the notes having a wiry or a metallic quality. At times
it reminded me strongly of the long twittering song of
the Barn Swallow with which I had several chances
to compare it directly for two or three of these Swallows
kept circling overhead before the Linnet had ceased singing.

  The Common Toads still keep up a fairly deafening clamor
all night and nearly all day. Never before have I heard them
trill in such prodigious numbers & for so long a period.
I have head no Fowler's Toads & doubt if they occur here.
Hylas by hundred[s] were peeping all through the evening &
well into the night. Bull Frogs tromped in every direction
about sunset. There were at least three in our cove.
