Lake Umbagog.
1909.
June 14 [June 14, 1909]
  Clear & warm with fresh N.W. wind
  The wood birds sang freely at nearly all hours.
I paid little attention, however, to anything
except a family of Whistlers of which more anon.
Twice a large brown Eagle came over the cove
balancing & soaring in the violent west wind.
The Muskrats were seen only a few times.
One of them has taken a fancy to my floating 
boat house in which I hear him "sloshing" the
water at all hours of the night.
  Toads & Hylas were silent through the day
but they began their usual clamor about sunset
and now (9 P.M.) it is simply deafening.
  Most of the forest trees are now dense with
foliage but their leaves are not fully grown as yet.
The swamp ash trees are only beginning to leaf out.
