content: The journal documents Florence Bailey's travel and observations in Maine, 1911. In the front of the volume is a loose insert listing locations, vegetation, types of habitat, birds observed. Pages are numbered. Entries are not continuous. There are often blank pages in-between. Some journal entries are dated, others headed with type of environment (pastures, cranberry bog, [type of tree] swamps), type of plant (ferns, flowers), or name of town. They begin June 23, 1911 and are often headed with location. They describe travel from Washington to Maine with time in Canada (Montreal), travel details (mode of transportation, accommodations), observations of vegetation, descriptions of behavior and appearance of birds. Some lists of vegetation include notes about descriptions and habitat, and sometimes date. There is a miscellaneous heading describing other fauna observed (insects, snakes). Locations include Fryeburg Harbor and North Waterford.
