Crymophilus fulicarius.
Lake Umbagog, Maine.
1896. At 7.30 A.M. I started for Upton. Just inside the mouth
Oct.2. of the river I saw three small waders flying about high in
air. They uttered a whit-whit somewhat like the call of T.
fuscicollis but louder and mellower and also a curious purring
sound Shortly afterwards they came overhead and alighted in a
cluster of lily pads near the middle of the pond near the
Lake House when I saw that they were Red Phalaropes. They
rose again in a minute or less.
