Buteo latissimus. Lake Umbagog, Maine. 1895. As we were coming down the river in the late afternoon.- Sept. 10. the sun had set, indeed,-a Broad-winged Hawk alighted on a stub over the water and almost immediately afterwards swooped down and struck the mud with a loud thump. As we were approach ing the spot it rose and flew across the river carrying what looked like a frog in its talons. During the day I saw two other Hawks which I took to be of this species sailing about at a great height.
