Quiscalus quiscula aeneus. 1837, Lake Umbagog. September 16. Big flock. In the spruces just above Frost's we saw an immense flock of Grackles - at least 200 birds. They were all apparently Q.aeneus. K. fired at some of them but failed to kill any. 1896, Lake Umbagog. May 14. We took two sets of four eggs each of the Grackles from nests in young balsams on an island near the Lake House landing. There were three Grackles' nests in one small balsam but only one had eggs and another was certainly an old nest. One old nest was placed in a tall alder.
