L. Umbagog, Maine. Colaptes auratus luteus. Colaptes auratus.— Uncommon. May 30-June 10, 1871. Colaptes Aug. 31st 1874 Absence in autumn Colaptes auratus This bird leaves the Lake region unaccountably early in the autumn. I have just spent two weeks at Umbagog from Oct. 17 to 31 without seeing a single individual. The guides tell me that earlier—in September— they were unusually abundant. 20 Colaptes auratus, Oct. 10, '84 1884. Colaptes auratus Oct. 15th 1886.
