Bonasa umbellus togata.
Lake Umbagog, Maine.
1894. The little spaniel (Hadji) found and flushed two full-
Sept.5 grown Partridges behind the camp. One of them "treed" in a
balsam perching on a horizontal branch about fifteen feet above
the ground where it stood for a long time perfectly motionless
with neck outstretched in about this attitude . After
the dog left the place the Partridge began moving its head and
guiting and presently it flew off through the trees. Accord-
ing to our men there are at least seven Partridges on the
Point, one pair of old birds and five young about as large as
Pigeons. I have not yet seen these young.
