Perisorous canadensis. Maine (Lake Umbagog). 1873. Aug. 1. One alighted for a moment in a bush in front of the house. Godwin tells me that it is rarely seen here in summer. 1874. July 26. Shot a young bird ( which was moulting and changing into fall plumage) on the hill-side behind the house. Aug. 15. Shot one in nearly perfect fall plumage. When first seen it was sitting on the top of a spruce several hundred yards away. Upon discovering us it immediately spread its wings and sailed without a single flap directly towards us, alighting in a bush within a few yards. It uttered a scolding chatter almost precisely like that of the Baltimore Oriole. " 18. Several about Leonard's Pond. They utter a variety of shrill Hawk-like whistles. " 31. A little company of three on the Tyler Path. Although extremely tame, they move so rapidly through the woods that it is not easy to overtake and shoot them. A wing-broken one screamed loudly when approached and bit fiercely but with too little power to cause pain. The others passed on paying no heed to its cries. 1876. June 5. A flock of six or seven seen and one shot. " 8. A small flock near the mouth of Rapid River contained several young birds fully grown, but still in first plumage. 1879. June 6. George Hayward tells me that it is generally known here that this species breeds in March; nevertheless the nests are very rarely found.
