Gallinago wilsoni. Maine (Lake Umbagog). 1880. (Sept. 13) Judging from the numerous “borings” and other signs there must have been at least a dozen Snipe on the me- dow last night but we found only one bird there this morning. The night was just such a one as they commonly choose for migrating, clear, with soft southerly wind and nearly full moon. “ 15. A flock of nine, evidently migrating, came in over the marsh, flying in a bunch like bay-birds. They swept down over one or two favorite spots, then mounting high in the air, went out over Upton Hill. Another bunch of four alighted in the marsh. A driving north- easterly storm at the time, rain falling in torrents. “ 16. Started about a dozen on the marshes near the Out- let. Several lay closely till I passed, then rose two or three gun shots behind me. I came upon one in the very middle of a creek squatting on the surface of the water; his head and neck flattened as if he were on land. After flushing him I examined the spot and found the water only about three inches deep. “ 19. Started four on the meadows below the house. “ 20. Started three on the meadows below the house. 1882. Oct. 9-22 Exceedingly abundant. The marshes were in perfect condition this year and I had fine Snipe shooting, some- times starting as many as thirty in a few hours. Six or eight were seen October 21, and three October 28 (C.F. Batchelder). 1883. Oct. 17. Shot one on the meadow. “ 19. Shot seven.
