Occurrence of Baird’s Sandpiper ( Tringa bairdi) on the New 
Hampshire Coast. — While out on the marsh at Rye Beach, N. H., 
August 26, my attention was called by my companion to a “Large Peep,” 
as he called it. Upon shooting the bird we found it to be a Tringa bairdi. 
The same afternoon I obtained another specimen of this bird which was 
running along the beach in company with a large flock of Peeps. Both 
birds were very tame and allowed a quite near approach. This is the 
first record of this bird for New Hampshire. — Henry M. Spelman,

Baird’s Sandpiper at Newfound Lake, Hebron, N. H.— While on a 
morning’s collecting trip September 4, 1906, on the marshes at the head 
of Newfound Lake, Hebron, N. H., we obtained a specimen of Baird s. 
Sandpiper ( Actodromas bairdii) collected by F. G. Blake. It was in com- 
pany with Gallinago delicata, Actodromas maculata, A. minutilla, Totanus 
melanoleucus, T. flavipes, Helodromas solitarius, Aclitis macularia, and 
JEgialitis semipalmata. The bird is now in the mounted collection of 
Camp Pasquaney, Bridgewater, N. H. According to Mr. G. M. Allen’s 
‘Birds of New Hampshire,’ this is the fourth locality in which Baird’s 
Sandpiper has been taken in the State. — Francis G. and Maurice C.
