14 Tatamus flavipes Lake Umbagog, Maine. 1889 Maine Sept.7 S. Umbagog just at bust after a rainy day with & wind I found a flock of four accompanied by a Triinga maculata on a mud-flat at the mouth of Cambridge River. Every few seconds they would whistle pheu or pheu- phew this note exceedingly melous and sweet as a rule but sometimes given in a shrill, falsetto tone. They were very tame and I watched them for some time. They moved about with long graceful strides continually stopping and standing erect to look around. Occasionally one would open and raise its wings over its back. Upon alighting after a flight they would hold their wings open the tips pointing straight upward & made tenday for a moment then fold them deliberately and very neatly. All four proved to be young birds; two of the three I examined were ♂♂. It is said that one gunner killed seven Yellow legs at the outlet to-day. Oct. 2 My guide James Bernier shot one this morning on the banks of Cambridge River just below the Balls House. It was a young bird.
