Gavia imber. 1889, September 12. Lake Umbagog. Near Moll's Rock. Heard a Loon utter the long-drawn er-loo with sometimes a third syllable given in a rising falsetto tone, the whole or-1oo-ée. 1890, October 22. Lake Umbagog. North Bay. We next tried to paddle to four gray Loons which were cruising about in deep water swimming in a cluster like Ducks, but they scattered and dove before we got within range. There were two others in sight at the same time. 1894, September 5. Lake Umbagog. Shot from steamer. As we were nearing Metalluc Island the engineer killed a gray Loon with a charge of B.B. shot at about 75 yards. He fired three times and apparently did not hit the poor bird until the third shot, although it made very short dives only going a few yards under water each time. These young Loons have little fear of the steamer and are easily killed. 1895, September 6. Lake Umbagog. Pine Point. Strange cry. At about 9 A.M. a strange, low, yet penetrating, hooting or tooting sound like that made by blowing into a bung hole, coming from the fog-enshrouded lake and strange to Will Sargent as well as myself tempted us to put off in one of the boats to investigate it. After paddling nearly a mile we came upon two Loons one of which was making this sound. 36
