Sept ,3b, 
’ During our drive from Bethel to Lake Umbagog on the 30th, 
we saw one or two Flickers. Mr, Pierce tells me that previous to 
this date he had seen absolutely none about the Lake although out 
nearly every day with a gun for four weeks. On the 21st they 
appeared in large numbers and have continued abundant to this date 
(34). We see them oiily in the clearings where they spend practi-. 
eally their entire time on the ground, usually in low meadow or 
intervale land where the grass is short and the ground very wot, 
but occasionally in hillside pastures among stumps & bushes. They 
are invariably in flocks of from 5 or 6 to 13 or 15, We see none 
in the woods. They are evidently migrants, and usually are rather 
tame,

Most of the Flickers gone to-day.
