ported at Umbagog this year. 
Lake Umbagog. 
1894, 
September 10. 
A flock of 13 Blue-winged Teal (which, as I afterwards 
heard, Will Sargent and Mr.Hubbard had started in Glaspy Cove 
where they were sitting in the mud) came flying swiftly in from 
the open lake and disappeared in the direction of Richardson's 
Carry. I spent the greater part of the forenoon searching for 
them in likely places along the river and in Leonard's Pond but 
without success. Late in the afternoon Will and Mr.Hubbard again 
flushed them from some flats bordering the river just opposite 
Richardson's Carry. They must have spent the day on these flats 
although during my search I landed there, walked about a good deal, 
and used the glass freely. Teal on mud flats are exceedingly dif¬ 
ficult to see, especially when they are sleeping with their heads 
buried in their feathers.
