Larus leucopterus - L. glaucus [Larus glaucoides] - Pas. princeps [Passerculus princeps]
Pas. iliaca [Passerella iliaca], Pas. savanna [Passerculus savanna], Buceph Islandica [Bucephala islandica]
1876. Arrival at Cape Lepreaux [Point Lepreau] Apr. 11 [April 11, 1876]
(April 11) to my complete satisfaction as L. agentatus [Larus argentatus]
L. glaucus  [Larus glaucus] et L. leucopterus [Larus leucopterus]. They kept
steadily along in the wake of the steamer
and we amused ourselves by tossing over
pieces of fish etc. which they picked 
up with great willingness when they 
had drifted under their line of vision.
I could not detect much difference
in their actions, though I fancied 
that both the white birds, L. leucopterus [Larus leucopterus]
especially, were lighter & more graceful
of motion than the L. agentatus [Larus argentatus]. The 
difference in size between them respectively 
was not marked at any distance but 
when they came up near it was apparent. 
Leaving Eastport at 2 P.M. we arrived
at Cape Lepreaux [Point Lepreau] at about 4 and were 
kindly put on shore by the Capt. in the 
steamers life boat. Scarcely had we landed 
that a sparrow flew by me and I 
recognized P. princeps [Passerculus princeps]. Unpacking our
guns we went in search of it & Stone was 
so lucky as to secure it. Rather to 
my surprise found Pas. iliaca [Passerella iliaca], Mel. melodia [Melospiza melodia]
in numbers around the house of Mr. Thomas
the light keeper where we are to stop, and 
Stone killed a Pas. savanna [Passerculus savanna]. After supper
crept down to two [female] old squaws that
were feeding near the ledge and shot 
down both killing one dead but "Shot" not
understanding the business it drifted off. 
The view from the bluff is very fine &
the prospect of shooting, good as ducks are
lying all along near the ledges. I forgot
to note two adult [male] Buceph. Island. [Bucephala islandica] at Eastport.
