Hydomeles ludoviciana. 
Maine (Lake Umbagog). 
Rather coDimon at the liako. Seen all the way up 
from Bethel. 
Saw a young bird in fall plumage on the Megallov/ay 
River; it was shy and restless, alighting on the tops 
of the tallest trees and uttering its fall-note, v/hich 
somev/hat resembles that of the Blue Bird. 
They are getting numerous and evidently coming in 
from the north. I saw several small flocks to-day along 
the vrooded banks of Cambridge River. They flevr fromi 
tree to tree, usually alighting on the tops, and utter¬ 
ing the peculiar fall note already described. 
Saw fwo broods of young, one accompanied by a su¬ 
perb adult male apparently in fall plumage. The young 
uttered the plaintive note peculiar to the autumn but 
also the sharp click of the adult. 
Saw several broods of young on Upton Hill. 
A number heard singing at different points around t 
the Lake. 
A male singing to-day is the first so far noted. 
Abundant in the v/oods just east of Dixville Notch, 
A single male;
