Thursday
May 25 [May 25, 1876] Clear and a fine day with high N.W. [northwest]
wind. William Stone & I Left Boston for the lake at
9 A.M. and arrived at Bethel at
5 P.M. Had supper at Barton's (Chandler Inn)
and left Bethel at 6, arriving at the
Lake house at Upton at 11 P.M. after
a cold but pleasant drive. The roads
were in so bad a condition that one
was obliged to walk his horses nearly
all the latter half of the way. Saw
a single D. tigrina [Dendroica tigrina] a few miles 
above Bethel and heard night hawks
at Poplar tavern.
Friday
May 26 [May 26, 1876] Clear and warm in the middle of the
day. Very cold early this morning
water freezing to the thickness of 
window glass. Spent most of the
forenoon getting our things in 
order. Went out a little while in
the woods behind the house and 
shot a fine [male] Picoides Arcticus.
In the P.M. took a walk over to the
Stone clearing and I shot five
birds a pair of P. Arcticus [Picoides arcticus], a [male]
D. Blackburniae [Dendroica blackburniae] and two D. maculosa [Dendroica maculosa]
S. [William Stone] shot a D. tigrina [Dendroica tigrina] & a fine [male] S. varius Sphyrapicus varius].
The season is remarkably backward here
not a leaf having started in the woods
as yet but nearly all the birds
seem to be here. Saw to day Dendroicas
tigrina [Dendroica tigrina], maculosa [Dendroica maculosa], virens [Dendroica virens] Blackburniae [Dendroica blackburniae]
coronata [Dendroica coronata] My. pusillus [Myiodioctes pusillus], Seth. ruticilla [Setophaga ruticilla]
Sp. varius [Sphyrapicus varius] Contopus borealis D. caerulescens [Dendroica caerulescens], & T. Swainsoni [Turdus swainsoni]
