L.Umbagog. Coloptus auratus. 1890. Sept.20-27, During our drive from Bethel to Lake Umbagog on the 20th, we saw one or two Flickers. Mr. Pierce tells me that previous to this date he had seen absolutely none about the Lake although out nearly every day with a gun for four weeks. On the 21st they appeared in large numbers and have continued abundant to this date (24). We see them only in the clearings where they spend practi- cally their entire time on the ground, usually in low meadow or intervale land where the grass is short and the ground very wet, but occasionally in hillside pastures among stumps & bushes. They are invariably in flocks of from 5 or 6 to 12 or 15. We see none in the woods. They are evidently migrants, and usually are rather tame. Sept.25, Most of the Flickers gone to-day. Sept.26, Apparently a second flight.
