Ereunetes pusillus. Maine (Lake Umbagog). 1873. July 20. Saw three, identification positive. 1880. Sept. 5. This species constituted the greater portion of a flock of about twenty-five small waders, feeding on a mud-bar in Sargent's Cove. " 12. Eighteen in company with two Tringa minutilla on the bar at the mouth of the Cambridge. They were surpri- singly tame allowing us to paddle the canoe within ten feet of them. They fed chiefly in the shallow water, thrusting their heads beneath the surface and bringing up masses of water weeds from which they disengaged small particles of food. Occasionally they bored the soft mud like Snipe, thrusting their bills down to the very base. I find that most of the Tringae do this and per- haps all the Scolopacidae. With the present species the motion differs slightly from that of the Snipe, bo- ing less rapid and decidod while the bill is often work- ed up and down in the same spot . At least one indi- vidual in one flock of "Peops" is pretty sure to be minus a leg; there was one such unfortunate in this flock, but although only the stump of his leg was left he seemed to get along very well, hopping nimbly about on the sound member. " 14. Large numbers on the bar at the mouth of the Cam- bridge. " 15. An immense flock feeding on the bar at the mouth of the Cambridge. " 18. A flock on the bar at the mouth of the Cambridge River in company with Ring-necks.
