on the top of a tall dead tree within 50 yards* After perching there a 
minute or two f it flew across the cove and alighted on a floating log 
near the mouth of Stony Brook* Here it remained less than a minute* 
When it took wing a second time it appeared to have been startled by

I have only one previous record for Umbagog, that of a bird shot many 
years ago in Sargent Cove, in New Hampshire* the one seen to-day was 
near the Abbott Mill and Lake House in Upton ; Maine#
