Gallinago delicata. 1887, Lake Umbagog. September 24. In the alder-unbowed reaches at the head of the (B.) meadows a Snipe started from the bank. I fired large shot at it and missed. It alighted on the mud a short distance ahead and crouched behind a tussock. September 26. Lumen's keen eyes detected the Snipe (on B meadows) as he skulked behind a tussock on the edge of the water. We paddled to within ten yards of him but he remained perfectly motionless, squatting on the mud his bill slightly raised, his large eyes glistening in the light. Finally I clapped my hands and he rose dropping dead in the meadow grass at my shot. 1888, Head of Lake Umbagog. October 6. When the Scaup Ducks rose a Snipe also started near us and I shot it. Afterward saw three at Moose Point. They rose from the grass where the water was a foot deep. 1893, Lake Umbagog. September 30. At the Outlet of Lake The marshes to-day, as on our former visits, were simply covered with chalkings which, as we could start no Snipe, I at- tributed to the Grass Birds but as night was falling, while we were lying in wait for Ducks, the Snipe appeared in considerable numbers coming singly, evidently from a considerable distance and from every direction, circling over the marsh at a great height and then shooting down nearly vertically on half closed wings.
