Podilymbus podiceps. Lake Umbagog, Maine. 1900. Sept. 16. Off the mouth of our boat cove and close to the rocky shore of the Point a Pied-billed Grebe was floating idly on the water at about 9 A.M. I paddled out to within about 30 yards of it when it flew, rising with some difficulty and go- ing directly into over the Lake for about 200 yds when it a- lighted again. It was a young bird with dark stripes on the cheeks and neck. It is unusual to find this Grebe in deep water off a rocky shore and equally unusual for it to take wing when approached.
