Odemia perspicillata. within about twenty yards when they heard of us I went to the boat (the boat was blacked) floss making their late room on this very thin water thin came in close distance. This was many birds now & then I found them adults under some trees, New Brunswick knew & found the American Kite with them being quite active I also heard a lower quacking I replied there was much corn I got out, has some that they were not but it was a dead cold for wounded one that I could find hard. All thin were white heads. The Pole bird left them Upton, Maine Oct. 17, 1892 Odemia perspicillata Additional occurrence on Lumbagog. George Hayward killed five of these "Coots" from a flock of seven that he found in the lake near D. point. I saw the bird less than an hour after they were shot. All were immature, probably young of this year. He says they were very tame and that he rowed up within shot without any difficulty. They may have formed part of a larger flock as some heavy firing was heard up the lake this morning. I think I have no positive record of this Pelionetta perspicillata 1899. Oxford Co., Me. Oct.I one, Lake Umbagog.
