Actodromas bairdii. L. Umbagog, Maine. 1890 / Sept. 4 Rickett 5-2 sun Lake Umbagog, Maine. Tringa Bairdii 1894 Sept. 12 2 shot at Outlet on mud bank in company with two Pectorals & from Eremite finches, When their backs were turned towards me the Baird's Sandpipers resembled the Pectorals closely when their breasts were expanded they looked more like the Eremites. Between these they were about intermediate in characteristics They differ in respect to this species and motions differences Sept. 25. Shot an adult ♂ & a jun. ♂ on the marshes near the Outlet. They were in company with a Ring-neck Plover finding on an extensive mud flat on the edge of a pool of shallow water into which they waded to their bellies. As a rule they waddled rather sedately like Pectorals but occasionally they ran quickly about in divers courses like the smaller Tringa. They probed the mud continually drawing their bill in to their eyes. They were very tame, They looked so very like Eremites that I was not sure of their identity until I shot them.
