Charitonetta albeola. Maine (Lake Umbagog) Bucephala albeola 1875 ✓ Oct. 13 One brought in by some sportsman who killed it from a flock of them in the Megalloway coming up to them without much difficulty. ✓ Oct. 26 Five at Moose Point diving close in shore. Tried to paddle on them but failed although my boat was carefully grasped. They would fly when I went at least fifty yards off, and after going only three or four hundred yards sight and begin diving against their drive were short but they disappeared like a flash. Flying, their wings showed a peculiar rapid und motion unlike other ducks and reminding one of a Woodcock. Daniel Hayward tells me that late last autumn after most of the Lake had skimmed over he found about forty of these Ducks Bucephala albeola. 1880. Maine (Lake Umbagog). May -- ✓ Mrs. Bartlett has an adult female shot on Lake Umba- gog this month. June 1. ✓ Saw a fine adult male near Poslee's Brook this morn- ing, and a female in the same place late in the after- noon. The latter was feeding in the grass at the wa- ter's edge and was very tame, allowing us to get within close gun range. Captain Poslee tells me that he has seen the pair several times lately. I also saw another adult male on the Megalloway this morning.
