Dolichonyx oryzivorus.
1895,
August 31.
Lake Umbagog.
Lakeside.
At about 9 A.M. I heard the chink of Bobolinks very
faintly and looking up saw a flock of eight whirling about at an
immense height, looking, in fact, no larger than so many specks of
dust. Had the sky been blue instead of grayish white these birds
could not possibly have been seen.
