Querquedula discors. Lake Umbagog. 1839, September 23. (Alva Coolidge) tells me he saw a flock of eighteen Blue-winged Teal in Metalluc Pond on the 18th. None have been re- ported at Umbagog this year. 1894, September 10. Flock of 13. Lake Umbagog. A flock of 13 Blue-winged Teal (which, as I afterwards heard, Will Sargent and Mr. Hubbard had started in Glaspy Cove where they were sitting in the mud) came flying swiftly in from the open lake and disappeared in the direction of Richardson's Carry. I spent the greater part of the forenoon searching for them in likely places along the river and in Leonard's Pond but without success. Late in the afternoon Will and Mr. Hubbard again flushed them from some flats bordering the river just opposite Richardson's Carry. They must have spent the day on these flats although during my search I landed there, walked about a good deal, and used the glass freely. Teal on mud flats are exceedingly dif- ficult to see, especially when they are sleeping with their heads buried in their feathers. 59
