Maine (Lake Umbagog). 
Pound sparingly in the clearings, ^7hore it breeds 
in hollow stubs and martin boxes. 
They are getting numerous, a sure indication that 
the migrations are beginning as the species is rare hero 
in the breeding season. 
Saw a brood of young near the upper Megallov/’ay 
settlement. 
Tv/o males, one near the top of Upton Hill, the other 
in Brovm’s clearing; another heard flying over the lake 
yesterday. 
Frequently seen during the early part of our stay, 
when it vms much more numerous than I have over knovm 
it to be in spring. Usually observed in small flocks 
in the.stubs along the river. 
One passing high overhead towards the South; none 
were noted after October 12 when I heard a single bird.
