L.Umbagog. 1890. Canace canadensis. Oct. Spruce Grouse are said to be more numreous even than they were last year. Mr. Sherman sees them almost every day. He and several of the other hunters refuse to shoot them. On one occasion this autumn he very nearly caught an old cock in his hand. The bird was sitting on a low branch and allowed him to extend his fingers to within six inches of its foot when it flew to a higher branch. I saw a pair of young birds which were shot on the Mollidgwauk burnt lands but most of those reported were seen in the favorite old haunt the swamp on the Tyler road.
