Accipiter fuscus.
Maine (Lake Umbagog).
1874.
Sept. 7.
Killed an adult male in the depths of the woods as
he was flying across a wood path. He fell winged, and
made off along the ground with long leaps, and so rapid-
ly that I found it impossible to overtake him and had to
fire the other barrel to secure him.
1880.
June 3.
A pair seen daily of late near B Point.
1881.
May 25.
One sitting on a stump by the lake shore. I shot
at him when he made a quick turn in the air and vanished
among the trees.
