Helodromas solitarius. Totanus solitarius Both occur in Me. I shot a young bird to-day at the mouth of Peabody's Brook. It was feeding on the mud in company with a Fringa alpinia and was very tame. Lake Umbagog, Maine. 1888 Sept. 13 Two on a sand beach at C. Pond, the other on a mud bar in the river just below the pond. Both exceedingly tame allowing us to paddle within ten or fifteen yd. They had a teetering motion similar to that of Fringillidae but very much less pronounced & also less incessant. L. Umbagog, Maine.
