IT 
LAKE UMBAGOG, UPTON, MAINE 
1872 
June 1 Took the 7:30 train this moring for Bethel where we ar¬ 
rived at 4:45. Saw a pair of Actiturus bartramius at New Glou¬ 
cester, Maine. Took a team with Mr, Stockbridge to drive, and 
reached Poplar tavern, Newcry, by 7 where we took supper and as 
a steady drizzling rain which had commenced in the afternoon 
still continued falling, decided to pass the night. Virio gil- 
vus stopped at Bethel. 
June 2 Clear and a lovely day, cool almost to coldness. Took 
a walk before breakfast and saw numbers of E. trailli and a 
G. Philadelphia. Started at 8 and enjoyed the ride amazingly. 
At the Notch H.prigrina, D.tigrina and D.castania began in 
numbers but were not detected at all before. D.maculosa, 
blackb'urniae, Hel.ruficapilla, Turdus swainsonii and T.fusces- 
cens were all the way through to the Lake. Minutilla varia 
stopped at the Notch: Dol.oryzivorus and Cy.cyania abdt. to 
that point, straggled through in small numbers to the lake 
where I found a pair of each. E.trailli was exceedingly abdt. 
from about a mile below Poplar tavern to within half that dis¬ 
tance of the Lake house. D.striata was not common all the way 
up and migrating. Arrived at the lake. We spent the P.M. in 
settling our things ready for the weeks work and began the next 
morning, Monday, June 3. The observations for the following 
two weeks are as follows. June 2 birds nearly all in small com¬ 
panies and migrating as the season is much later than last year. 
Myiod. pusillus and D. striata not uncommon: by June 4 both 
had disappeared, and birds of all kinds became settled for the 
season.
