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.
