Lake Umbagog. 1909. June 22, About 7 A.M. before the wind had risen a fine Loon in Loon fully adult male plumage surprised us by appearing in our little Cove which is now almost everywhere grass- grown owing to the recent fall of water. When I first saw the bird it was swimming through the grass about fifty yards away, having evidently come through the Channel behind the island. It did not seem to notice the house boat at first although several of us were standing about the deck talking. After making one short dive it finally returned through the channel. We saw it after- wards well out on the flooded meadows. The water in our Cove is now less than two feet deep.
