(only one seen today) a male Purple Finch, a resting X
Purty Blackbird (one male seen), a Nighthawk (only
one seen, on the limb of a dead tree.) Saw a pair
of Sparrow Hawks, and called over a flock of Crows,
fleeing me. Saw a Sapeweller (rubber) swelling
sap on a young hemlock tree, he had several new
worms food and was not after insects. Mr. Smith
heard and saw the Alder Flycatcher today. Saw

Weds June 8 -- Sultry and overcast, rather windy. It grows
very threatening around her, rains a few drops, and
then clears off. The moment the sun disappears it
is cold but at other times is very hot. The
rivers are rising still, and are away up, nearly
as a level with my cabin. Hunted up thru the
muskeg area, there are several others near there,
but I got very little, got about seven specimens
including a Crow, which I called to me. Came
back an old grass-covered road to the R.R. track.
