Passerculus princeps.
Some Birds new to Fauna of Maine.
2. Passerculus princeps Maynard. IPSWICH SPARROW.—On the
9th of October, 1876, I met with one of these birds on a sandy point on the
northwest shore of Lake Umbagog, in New Hampshire. I should hesitate
to record the occurrence of this species in a locality so far removed from
its known haunts, it not having been before observed so far in the interior,
since, from the miss-fire of two cartridges in succession, I failed to capture
my bird, were I not perfectly acquainted with its almost unmistakable
habits.
