Ceryle alcyon.
1908 Ceryle alcyon Baake
August 10 Umbagog
Never before have I known
kingfishers to occur in summer
fashion as seen in summer times.
The color & its community rules
is not now one where there
a dozen last year at this time
to-day about the stores
in Point and Glossy Cove
making a single birds. Indeed
I have met with but
them for, one dam on the
occasion yesterday, the other
almost daily at Umbagog.
I think has noticed a number
of kingfishers
along Bear River in Heady.
Coolidge tells me he shoots
a bird he can & that he has
had a dozen or more at
miles in Lyman but they
are not common for the change
they have always been
considered them by almost every one.
