Aocipiter cocrperii . 
Lake Umhagog, Maine. Chases a Sparrow. 
1896. while several Barn Swallov/s and a pair of King Birds were 
Aug.14. hovering over and darting down at it uttering their shrill 
(Ho.2). alarm cries incessantly. I could not understand why it did 
not try to catch one of the slow-moving clumsy King Birds 
which, surely, would have proved an easy prey.
