Lake Umbagog. I added a new bird to the Umbagog list this forenoon — a Field Sparrow which I heard sing a dozen times or more about 100 yards north-east of the Lake House in a hilly pasture (formerly belonging to the Abbott farm) growing up to young spruces. The bird was perch- ed in one of these and within twenty yards of our boat, I failed to see him until he took wing and flew off over some tall spruces on the crest of the hill in the direction of the lake. His song was loud, ringing and in every way normal.
