Perisoreus canadensis. 1889, October 3. Lake Umbagog. Moose Point. Saw five or six Canada Jays among the stubs in different places. Very tame and noisy. They seem to haunt the vicinity of water. October 9. Lake Umbagog. Megalloway River. Canada Jays were seen in several places along the river. They were as interesting as usual, very tame and noisy. Their bearing is gentle and confiding, at times, a little saucy. They are not as rollicking as Blue Jays. October 30. Lake Umbagog. Just above the Notch. One Canada Jay just above the Notch. 1890, October 17. Lake Umbagog. Pine Point. The Canada Jays came at frequent intervals in spite of the pouring rain. Their plumage did not appear wet or draggled in the least.
