Branta canadensis. Lake Umbagog, Maine. Tame. 1897. When we reached the house-boat this evening I learned Sept.29. from Will Sargent that less than half-an-hour after we started this morning Luman Sargent, passing down the river on his way to Lakeside, started a large Canada Goose in the first reach below the mill. The bird was so tame that he got within forty yards of it although he was rowing at the time. When it rose it flew out towards the Lake honking loudly.
