Charadrius dominicus.
Lake Umbagog, Maine.
1894. Four Golden Plover (at the Outlet), all young birds as
Sept.10. I could plainly see through my glass, kept flying about, now
high, now low, whistling. One separated from the others and
alighted but he soon started again and during the entire fore-
noon was almost constantly in sight or hearing. I shot at
him twice as he passed high overhead. He seemed to be ex-
cessively wild and restless.
