Charadrius squatorola 
Lake Umbagog, Maine. 
1394. Soon after breakfast Will discovered a solitary bird 
Sept.14. standing on an isolated rock off the point to the south of our 
cove. I could not make it out through the glass so we launch«» 
ed a boat and paddled out to it. It proved to be a Black- 
bellied Plover, a young bird. It kept nooning about on its 
limited domain and appeared to be feeding. It took no appar¬ 
ent notice of our approach and when we were within about thir¬ 
ty yards I shot it.
