L.Umbagog. Canace canadensis. 1890. Sept.28. Pearley White's son shot two to-day on the path to Mollidgwauk and I bought them of him. They were together, he said, and he could find no others near them. One was an adult ♀ the other a young male which had acquired nearly full plumage except on the head and neck. The ♀ had moulted recently and still had some pin feathers although the plumage was apparently perfect. The crop of the ♀ contained 51 berries of Viburnum nudum, some fragments of small mushrooms, and a few needles of the black spruce. The crop of the male had 13 V. nudum berries, fragments of mushrooms, and a number of needles of the larch. The flesh of both birds was dark, tender, and wholly free from any smell of spruce. Aldana Brooks tells me that he found a nest last spring about June Ist. It was near the shore of Richardson Lake on low ground covered with black ash, birches, alders and a few larches. It was built on the top of a low mound and contained nine (9) eggs. The ♀ was sitting and Brooks nearly stepped on her before she started. She fluttered off a few yards & then stopped & watched him. The nest was not near a log, rock or tree trunk as is usually the case with the nest of the common Partridge.
