Porzana carolina.
1889, Lake Umbagog.
September 19. Near Outlet of Lake.
I also shot a Carolina Rail which fell wounded into the
lake and dove as adroitly as a Duck using its wings when swimming
under water.
September 24. Lake Umbagog.
Moose Point.
Although the water was two to three feet deep all over
the marsh we heard many Carolina Rails calling kep, ke-ep at
sunset.
