"Drive up the lake, Quiscolas catching frogs. Nest of maculosa right hawks down. MAINE, (L. Umbagog.) 1876. Friday June 9? Clear and very hot. This 95° at noon Took the Thimble after breakfast with "Vinty" as guide. Left the steamers at Pine Point and paddled into the corn wherewes build up yesterday. Cut down a tall stub with a nest of Sphyrapicus but all the eggs were broken by the fall. The bird was the smallest that I have seen yet and the bird had to struggle violently to get in. In this same corn found a nest of P. villosus with young. It was build on a bush stub about 15 ft up. The old birds made a great racket. We got two nests of H. Cretor him with 4 & 5 eggs respectively. The former was very handsomely being lined with feathers from the adult. I handled my camera. From here we struck across into Leonard's pond and hunted a long time for bird nests about the mouth of the Mapleway but did not take a single nest. Saw several Ckisthas among the stubs where they are evidently building among the stubs. Finally a thunder shower coming up as forced one to Molly's Carry when we took shelter in a camp of three drives After the shower passed I hunted about in the woods a little and found a nest of D. maculosa which the 9 was working upon. It was built in a Spruce sapling about 9 ft up & was perhaps half finished. Saw a Druscolas size a small frog which he beat fiercely with his bill and finally took off probably to his nest. Saw numbers of Chordicils out over the lake along & among the trees for
