1897. Lake Umbagog.
Jurdus alciata or bicknell's.
June 2 From 8 to 10 P.M. the weather "clear" with light rain seen a minute
flash when these thrushes could not be heard. They attend the
"squawk" only and were unduly passing around & doubt migrating.
We were on the house boat in Bernard's Pond at the time.
" 3 An equally heavy flight to-night between the same hours & under
the same conditions.
" 4 One or two heard at about 11 P.M. cloudy & raining hard at the time.
" 7 One calling incessantly in dense young spruce & balsams
on the bank of the Androscoggin opposite Center Woods
at 9 A.M. and 12 M. I was sure its land here for
the sake of cycles at first.
