370 MAINE, (L. Umbagog.) April 1876. Thursday June 22 Cooler but with heavy showers at natural dam hour or so all through the day. Stony Bailey left for home this morning. Last night while coming in on the Corduroy Road behind the barn I had an ugly fall striking on my right hip in the old place and this morning it was so painful that I did not dare to start at as usual so took my boat and paddled down the lake landing at one or two places. I visited first a nest of Gyraamns found three days ago with Bepp and to day the I was sitting on the same number so I took it. They surely I think lay more than that number in. Afterwards landed on the point where I found an old rock Sunday sitting down and empty nest and to day Pickles sat again on the nest allowing me to nearly touch her before moving through the nest on- tained but a single egg. Saw an immature Halictus which has been hanging round this part of the lake for some time, flung for a fish. He moved more deliberately than Androin and struck much less heavily. In the afternoon went out with Godwin & Warrington to try for a finchel but did not hear a bit. Saw a Picus pubescens launch- out repeatedly after a large species of Diptera. He can't one or two on wing but shoud much less adroitness than Sphagapicns. A little later saw another pubescens following the same employment. Sphygrapincs apparently gets his subsistence now altogether in that way and is nearly as good a marksman as any of the Gyramidae. The winter crew brings only little now, ended not at all upt ealy in the morning & at noon. Young Burials
