Merganser americanus.
1896,
September 11.
Lake Umbagog.
Pine Point.
A little before sunset a flock of seventeen Goosanders
went down the lake and turned into Glaspy Cove and half an hour
later a bunch of four followed them but kept on into B Brook cove.
No doubt they spent the night along this rocky shore. The water
has fallen so low that many isolated boulders and several ledges
are exposed and perhaps they roost on some of these.
