Birds of Lewist on- Auburn 65 



WATER BIRDS 



List of water birds I have identified. Following is a 

 list of those identified by other observers. 



ORDER SHORE BIRDS 



FAMILY PLOVERS 



143. (274) SEMIPALMATED PLOVER; RING-NECK 



A migrant. My observation of this bird was on the 

 coast, but it is found at Sabattus Pond and Lake Auburn 

 chiefly in the autumn. 



FAMILY SNIPES, SANDPIPERS 



144. (263) SPOTTED SANDPIPER 



A somewhat common summer resident. Arrives the 

 first of May and remains till October. My latest date of 

 seeing this species is October 1 1 . 



145. (256) SOLITARY SANDPIPER 



A somewhat rare spring and autumn migrant. I 

 found one August 31, 191 7, around a mud pond south of 

 Riverside Cemetery. It remained till September 12. 



146. (255) YELLOW-LEGS; SUMMER YELLOW-LEGS 



A migrant, somewhat rare. Resembles the following 

 species so closely (the difference being in size) that I am 

 uncertain which I saw October 28. 



147. (254) GREATER YELLOW-LEGS; WINTER YEL- 



LOW LEGS 



A migrant, somewhat rare. October 28 I saw a yel- 

 low-legs which I listed as this one. 



148. (248) SANDERLING 



A migrant. In the autumn a few are seen at Sabattus.
