Cyanocitta cristata. Maine (Lake Umbagog). 1871. May 30. Saw one take an egg from the nest of a Robin and make off with it, hotly pursued by the parent bird. 1879. May 30. Twice lately a remarkable habit of this bird has come under my notice. Three or four days ago while I was crossing the Lake a flock of these birds passed over- head high in air: they flew steadily in a compact body heading to the eastward, and passed out of sight over the woods. Yesterday I saw a still more remarkable flight crossing R Meadows; there were at least forty individuals in this flock and they flew lower down, in fact just above the tops of the alders. 1880. June 12. A brood of young just from the nest. The old bird bowed her body uttering a note like the tolling of a bell. 1881 May 17. A noisy party of at least a dozen flitting through the woods precisely as in autumn. Within the last few days I have seen much larger flocks flying over the lake like Blackbirds. 1882. Oct. 8-22 Seen or heard every day but they are by no means as numerous and prominent as in Massachusetts in autumn. Some of the hunters say they winter; others deny it.
