Charadrius virginicus. Maine (Lake Umbagog). 1873. Sept. 1. Saw one near the mouth of Cambridge River. 1880. Sept. 2. One passing high overhead whistling plaintively. I called it when it descended with half-closed wings and dashed swiftly passed the boat. " 7. One wandering over the mud-flats and marshes at the mouth of the Cambridge uttering its plaintive rolling whistle, and finally passing out over the woods without alighting. " 14. Four, all adults, on the bar at the mouth of the River. They ran about exactly like the smaller spe- cies but their movements were much more rapid. They had the same Robin-like manner of making short runs, stooping for a moment to pick up a morsel of food, then standing erect and statuesque for a moment before start- ing on the next run. When they faced us the black patches beneath were very conspicuous. I killed all four of them. " 15. Eleven, all adults, feeding on the bar at the mouth of the Cambridge. They were very tame, I killed three of them. O 1882. Oct.6-22 I distinctly heard one on October 17. 1880. Sept.16. Four, all adults, feeding on a bar at the Ou lot. They were very tame.
