This would be an ideal lake on which 
to spend the summer, if it were not 
for the long hard trip from Temagami. 
The water is so clear, and there are 
any number of fine sand beaches. The 
one in front of the cabin is several 
hundred feet long, and the bush is all 
green everywhere, as there have been 
no fires here since the great fire about 
on hundred and fifty years ago, which 
cleared out all the white pine. There 
are no skeletons of dead trees any- 
where. 
We paddled for miles up the west 
branch of the Montreal River, and the 
scenery is lovely. There are high hills 
in the background with low marshy 
places in spots, with hundreds of dragon 
flies of all colors flying about. The last 
we ran into had bright green bodies 
with black wings, and farther north 
they had dark bodies and mottled wings. 
There are also thousands of glow- 
worms—not fire-flies. These shine out 
from the grasses, giving a green light. 
There are many more song birds than 
we find farther north, and some red- 
winged blackbirds, minus the red wings. 
It was the same bird with the same 
notes, the same habits and size, and 
the same dull: brown colored female; 
but the males had no red shoulders as 
they have farther south. The guides 
tell me that these birds do not begin 
to show red wings until you get as far 
south as Sturgeon Falls.* There is one 
bird which they call the hour bird, 
which sings a few notes every hour of 
the night. I heard him at a quarter 
to ten and listening for him, heard him 
exactly a quarter to eleven, keeping it 
up for a minute or less, and at a quar- 
ter to twelve he was only one minute 
out. The Indian name for it is ‘“Kine- 
agnownashee.” I spelt as they pro- 
nounced it, but when I tried to say it 
as it was written they laughed, but 
said I was near it.

Blackie of the Tree Tops 
(Continued from page 589) 
Blacks are not much larger than 
red squirrels, and I have even seen 
them with a few red hairs at the end 
of the tail, but no one claims them to 
be black editions of the red squirrel. 
This last fall I saw a white, or albino, 
grey squirrel. There was no doubt 
about it being a grey in spite of its 
white coat. In shape, size, length of 
body, tail, in every way, it looked like 
a grey squirrel. But I never saw a 
black squirrel, alive or dead, that any- 
one would confuse with a grey. I 
never heard of anyone finding a black 
squirrel in a litter of greys, and I don’t 
ever expect to. 
* This is probably Brewer’s blackbird which 
is similar in appearance to the redwing.
