Canachites canadensis. Maine (Lake Umbagog). 1874. July 31. Came upon the same brood soon on the 28th, in the spruces behind the mill. One of the young, the largest, walked out along a spruce limb with his tail erected like a turkey cock's, calling continuously in nearly the same tones as his mother. Canace canadensis. 1874. Maine (Lake Umbagog). (Aug. 20) Shot a female which I flushed in a tangle of rasp- berry bushes in a perfectly open pasture on the side of Upton Hill, nearly one hundred yards from the edge of the woods, which for a long distance in, were composed exclusively of hard woods. 24. Killed a very fine adult male on the road to the Sluice. 29. While walking quietly along the Tyler Path just beyond the bog I happened to look up and discovered two young Spruce Grouse sitting in the branches of small larch directly over my head, one with neck outstretched, the other squatted close on the limb. They sat perfectly motionless, their statuesque figures framed by the deli- cate green foliage which surrounded them. After watch- ing them a moment I shot one and missed the other as it flew. The bird killed had its crop filled with larch needles. Sept. 4. Leaving the Tyler Path to pick up a bird that I had shot I came suddenly upon an old male Spruce Grouse. As he stood on a little knoll in a clump of bunch berries with a stray sunbeam lighting up his dark plumage he pre- sented a most beautiful appearance and I looked at him several moments before shooting. Henry Douglass kill- ed another, a fine male in fall plumage. 11. A very fine adult male shot on the Tyler Path.
