Otocoris alpestris. Lake Umbagog, Me. Sept. & Oct. 1893. Otocoris alpestris. Sept. 22. A solitary bird flying about over a grain (oats) field on the farm at Ballard's rapidly rising high in air and going off northward over the mountains. It came within 100 yds. of me at one time and I distinctly made out its broad, black tail & some of the other markings. Even without this view I should not have hesitated to record it on the strength of the piping call notes which it uttered almost incessantly. This is the second time I have observed Otocoris here.. Of course either or both birds may have been O. praticola but the probability would turn to favor alpestris L. Umbagog, Maine. N Otocoris alpestris Oct 19 heard distinctly flying over Cambridge River marshes 1896 22 Otocoris alpe. Oct. 3 I both seen & heard distinctly at butte. Lake Umbagog, Maine. 1890.
