Toxostoma rufum - Lake Umbagog, Maine. copy (1) 1897. / For nearly an hour this morning a Brown Thrasher, the May 16. first that I have ever noted here, was in full song at the base of B.Point opposite our anchorage, on the Lake shore. From what the river drivers tell me I think that there must be another on B.Meadows. They believe it to be a Mocking Bird! May 17. The Brown Thrasher sang again this morning on the shore at the base of B.Point. I could hear him faintly but dis- tinctly from the hill-top behind Lakeside, a distance of ful- ly half-a-mile.
