Seiurus auricapillus noveboracensis. Lake Umbagog, Maine. 1897. At least six Water Thrushes could be heard from our an- May 30. chorage and frequently four of these would sing in rapid suc- cession one beginning just as the preceding one ceased, pro- ducing the effect of a continuous Water Thrush song of four times the usual length. This happened so many times, indeed, that I became satisfied that it was not mere coincidence. These Water Thrushes also treated me to their flight songs a dozen times or more this evening and I am positive that one of them went up in the course of eight or ten minutes three or four times. The flight song of this species puts that of the Oven-bird (which I heard also this evening) quite to shame. This happened at Leonard's Pond between 4 P.M. and twi- light.
