Ardea herodias.
Lake Umbagog.
1896. Ardea herodias
May 21. One flying across the lake
from Great Island in direction
of Kidder's farm.
June 7. A young man, a neighbor of Mr. Chamber,
says that there is a Heronry on the
woods on the west side of Beaggs Bay
about a mile below First Bridge between
the Berlin road & the river. He heard the birds
at this afternoon and "heard the birds
crying in every direction" but saw
only their nests all in one tree, a
tall elm. Birds flew from all these
nests as he approached them.
I saw no Herons during my stay (May 21
to June 8) at Ruin Point.
12. One flying over the Meadow
