Charitonetta albeola.
Bucephala albeola
Lake Umbagog
in the lake near Grand Island.
Two in company with eight Greater
Trump Ducks. The latter permitted a near
approach but the Buffle heads flew
and left the flock before we were within
a hundred yards.
Oct. 27. Saw two together one of which was
a drake in perfect plumage. It looked
snow-white at a distance. They were very
shy & we could not approach them
even with a brushed boat.
Oct. 31. Saw one.
L. Umbagog, Maine.
