L.Umbagog. Maine. Urinator imber. Jan.1886. Wm. Sargent tell me that a man having charge of the Middle Dam camp found three Loons alive in the ice on Richardson Lake about the Ist. of January. They seemed to be in perfectly healthy condition but were easily caught for they could not rise from the ice although they "flopped" along over its surface nearly as fast as the men could run. He put two of them in a space of open water just above the dam where they passed the greater part of the winter but both finally disappeared. The third bird fought so savagely that it had to be killed.
