Totanus flavipes. Waino (Lake Umbagog). 1873. July 20. Saw three on the Cambridge River marshes. 1874. Aug. 13. Saw several flocks at the mouth of Cambridge River. " 27. A flock of four feeding on the mud in Black Island Cove. 1880. Sept. 2. Shot two. " 3. One flying over the meadows and whistling, after dark. " 13. Two on the mud-flats near the mouth of the Cambridge. They were very tame and I watched their motions for sometime, standing within ten yards of me. They probed the mud very like Snipe, and tilted the head and fore-part of the body in a peculiar, automaton-like way.
