Perisoreus canadensis. 1897, May 31. Lake Umbagog. Megalloway River. Holding an inquest over the floating carcass of a year- ing buck, which Jim thought had tried to cross the river on the floating logs of the large drive that passed down two or three weeks ago, were three Canada Jays, all old birds. They hung about the Deer for several minutes, inspecting it closely from some overhanging alders, then worked off along the river bank, taking short flights and hopping along over the floating logs and drift- wood, keeping perfect silence.
