Urinator imber 
Lake Umbagog, Llaine. 
1898. I awoke at daybreak this morning and the first sound 
Aug.24. that I heard was a rapid whuff-whuff-whuff closely resembling 
the puffing of a steam engine and passing directly over the 
tent. I knew at once that it was made oy the wings of some 
large bird and a moment later the prolongued, quavering laugh 
of a Loon proclaimed the particular species. Loons often fly 
over PinePoint in the early morning but seldom or never by 
day.
