Captures Peculiar Bird. 
Fred A. Wendall of Livermore 
Falls, who owns one of the finest 
collections of mounted birds in the 
state, has a fine specimens of the 
Brunnich Murre picked up recently 
near Moose Hill by George Pettin- 
gill’s young son. The bird was in 
an exhausted condition and as thin 
as a rail when the boy found him 
in the snow, and the lad, desirous of j 
keeping him for a pet, offered him 
all kinds of food, but he refused to 
eat and soon died. The Brunnich 
Murre belongs to the waders, or wa¬ 
ter birds family, and according to 
Robert Ridgeway is of the genus TJria. 
Such specimens inhabit the Arctic 
ocean and coasts of the North Atlan¬ 
tic and go south’ in winter to New 
: Jersey. They breed from the Gulf 
I of St. Lawrence northward. Mr. Wen¬ 
dell is of the opinion that this bird 
(which has never been seen in this 
section before) must have strayed 
from the flock when his mates mi¬ 
grated south, and, becoming exhaust¬ 
ed through starvation, fell down and 
was thus easily captured. Wm***
