Loxia leucoptera
1895,
September 24. Lake Umbagog.
Errol Hill Pond & Androscoggin River.
Getting scarce.
Crossbills appear to be much less numerous than they
were early in the month, but I heard both species to-day at Errol
Hill Pond and, as we were sailing up the Androscoggin this after-
noon, shot a pair of White-wings which were hopping about on the
bare mud at the water's edge. They were in excessively worn,
ragged plumage.
