Arrivals M. Lincolni, [Melospiza lincolnii], My. crinitus [Myiarchus crinitus]
MAINE, (L. Umbagog. [Umbagog Lake, Maine])
New note of Contopus borealis
1876.
Thursday Hooting of the barred owl. Chry. pinus [Chrysomitris pinus]
June 1st. [June 1, 1876] Clear and the warmest day we have had 
with not so much as a breath of air
Started off as usual in the morning with
S. [William Stone] taking the Stone road and continuing
on into the Ellinwood path. Shot 14
birds the best Melospiza Lincolni [Melospiza lincolnii] [female];
My. crinitus [Myiarchus crinitus] [male]; D. Blackburniae [Dendroica blackburniae] 3, D.
castanea [Dendroica castanea] 2; etc. Stone did not feel well
and killed only one bird, a [female]  Sphyrapicus 
with a few red feathers in the throat.
Arrivals were Turdus fuscescens 1; Emp.
Traillii [Empidonax traillii] 1; M. crinitus [Myiarchus crinitus] 3, Mel. Lincolnii [Melospiza lincolnii]
one ([female]) Heard a new note from Contopus
borealis, a low note it was I think
as the male while producing it was
hovering with quivering wings around
his mate. It was a long, continued
chattering cry almost indistinguishable
from the spring song of the [male] Sitta Carolin. [Sitta carolinensis]
Of Myiarchus I saw three, two of
them paired birds. They uttered the
usual notes and were rather shy.
The M. Lincolni [Melospiza lincolnii] hopped up from the
side of the Stone road and was perfectly 
silent. I see Chry. pinus [Chrysomitris pinus] every day in
small flocks. The [female] Picoides shot
yesterday had the largest ovaries not exceeding
in size No. 8 shot and apparently would
not have bred for weeks. The [female] Sphy. [Sphyrapicus]
shot by S. today had laid all her eggs
as determined by dissection. This evening
S. & I took a moonlight sail out on
the lake and enjoyed ourselves amazingly.
We heard a Syrnium nebulosum hoot
repeatedly. Its cry was whoo, whoo, whoo-whoo
