1872 June 1 Lake Umbagog, Upton Me. June 1 Took the 1.30 train this morning for Bethel when we arrived at 4.45. Saw a pair of Setophagus bertramii at New Gloucester, Me. Took a team with Mr. Stockbridge to drive and reached Poplar Farm, N.H., by 7 o'clock. We took supper and as a steady drizzling rain which had commenced all the afternoon still continued falling, decided to pass the night. Virgo gilvus stopped at Bethel. June 2 Clear and a lovely day, cool almost to coldness. Took a walk before breakfast and saw numbers of E. tricolor and a G. philadelphia. Started at 6 and enjoyed the rich amargol. At the Notch H.B., Purissima, D. tristis and D. castanea began in numbers but were not detected at all before D. maculosa, Blackburnian, Hcl. melicopulus, Cardus priscus & J. fuscaeus went all that way through to the Lake. Mototetta varia stopped at the Notch; Dol. virginius & Ec. cyanus about to that point straggled through in small numbers to the Lake where I found a pair of each. E. tricolor was exceedingly abate from about a mile below Poplar Farm to within half that distance of the Lake shore. D. Strata was not common till the way off and migrating. Arrived at the lake we spent the P.M. in tidling 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 companies and migrating as the season is much later than last year. Myiost. fusillus and D. Strata not uncommon; by June 8 both had disappeared, the birds of all kinds began settled for the season.
