Bonasa umbellus togata. 1890, Lake Umbagog. September 26. In this place (Ferrin's) . . . there were also several Grouse here two of them old males which drummed at frequent inter- vals. Two which we started were as wild as our Mass. birds. October 18. Night visitor. Lake Umbagog. Pine Point. Nearly an hour after dark - and it was very dark to- night - as the men were eating supper in front of their tent a Partridge suddenly rose from within the circle of light of their lantern not 15 yds. away. It flew a long distance back into the woods and we did not try to follow it. 1895, Lake Umbagog. September 20. Pine Point. Early in the afternoon I was sitting in the woods writing this journal when a Partridge stepped up on a rock within twelve feet (measured) of me and began"quitting"and staring at me with curiosity and suspicion. After watching her for several moments I tried to retreat and get my camera, but she took alarm and run- ning a few yards flew off into some dense undergrowth. The men heard a drummer on the knoll a little later, but he was not on the old log and was probably not the bird that drummed there last year.
