Falco columbarius & Gallinago delicata. Lake Umbagog, Maine. 1890. At the Outlet one Snipe that escaped our guns rose high Oct.7. and was flying in a great circle after the usual fashion of Snipe when a Pigeon Hawk appeared and pursued it for a minute or more. It easily overtook but seemed unable to catch it although the Snipe did not double more than they usually do. Several times the Hawk closed in on it and for an instant the two birds seemed merged into one. Once the Hawk shot directly under the Snipe and turning sharply upward seemed to attempt to strike it from beneath, but failed in this also. Finally the Snipe pitched down into the grass and the little Falcon kept on and gave up the chase.
