Bonasa umbellus. togata.
Lake Umbagog, Maine. Tame.
1897. Perhaps our most interesting camp visitor thus far was a
Sept. 10. hen Partridge which appeared yesterday early in the forenoon.
When I first saw it, it was standing erect and motionless not
six feet from the front of my tent! It presently started off
down the hillside and walking slowly disappeared among the
undergrowth and fallen logs towards the Lake shore. Gilbert
has heard a drummer twice beyond the knoll.
