Corvus brachyrhynchos. Lake Umbagog, Maine. 1888 Corvus americanus Hunting to same perch. Catching grasshoppers Sept. 3 Two Crows spend nearly the whole of each day on a tall dead tree on the back shore. From this perch they descend, every hour or two, into the meadow in front of the hotel to feed on grasshoppers which are swarming there. I watched them through a glass to day and distinctly saw them chase the 'hoppers about sometimes running awkwardly hopping often nearly tumbling over in their awkward attempts to stop or turn suddenly.
