Bonasa umbellus, togata. Lake Umbagog, Maine. 1888. In the Notch (returning home) saw two Grouse, one a fine Oct.12. old "drummer" walked deliberately across the road his tail raised and spread like a fan, his ruffs twitching, shaking his head as if he were trying to dislocate his neck. When the horses were within ten feet of him he stopped and stood erect and still looking like a bunch of withered leaves. After we passed he began picking at some berries.
