Ardea herodias. Lake Umbagog. 1896. Ardea herodias May 21. One flying across the lake from East Island in direction of Kidswell farm. June 7. A young man, a nephew of Mr. Cleaves, says that there is a Heronry in the woods on the west side of Bragg's Bay about a mile below First Bridge between two Berlin road and the river. He passed it this afternoon and "heard the birds screaming in any direction" but saw only three nests all in one tree, a large bird flew from all three tall trees as he approached them. I saw no Herons during my stay (May 21 to June 8) at Pine Point. June 12. One flying over the Meadow Lake Umbagog, Maine. Ardea herodias 1888 Sept 11 About The Irish found the remains, feathers, bones, of two Herons which Sargent thought had been killed & eaten by Eagles. He has seen Eagles catch their great birds which, he says, make no resistance but strive only to escape by doubting, squawking loudly with terror. Coming up the Cambridge yesterday we started at a sight of them Herons Some were roosting in spruces over the stream others standing in the shallow water fishing. Sargent says they do not fish by night but they certainly do so in Ardea herodias. 1899. Oxford Co., Me. Oct. I three, Cambridge River Marshes, Lake Umbagog.
