L.Umbagog 
Perisoreus canadensis. 
1890. 
Oct. 
Pour visited camp daily & worked the greater part of every day 
carrying off bread. Never came at daylight & rarely before sunrise 
Notes wonderfully varied. Commonest whe-e-*e«o and a noise easily 
& perfectly imitated by smacking tongue on roof of mouth rapidly. 
One sang one morning very like a Brown Thrasher-but sotto voce-, 
and for several minutes. One much tamer than others. Allowed 
approach to within 3 ft. When two came together they would often 
quiver half open wings like young birds begging for food. One on 
Megalloway made notes exactly like gasping cry of Barred Owl^ 
ah-a-a-a. They of'teii took their food to nearest spruce branch & 
left it there for a few minutes but always soon removed it to 
further off. They carried beans (baked) and small pieces of bread 
by filling the throat first & then the bill. Larger pieces of 
biscuit were carried separately in the bill. Occasionally one 
would carry off half a biscuit in its feet. In the flight the feet 
are carried hanging down so that they show both held together 
under the abdomen & sometimes hanging at nearly length of legs.
