228. Philohela minor: Woodcock. 
Richard reports that one was shot near Cody in September, 
1906. Probably the bird is only an accidental visitor in 
this state. 
230. Gallinago delicata: Wilson’s Snipe. 
The early records of this bird were very meager, but since 
1902 almost all the observers have noted it. Walker took 
parent and young in June, 1911. A few days later he 
found a set of four fresh eggs at the head of Centennial 
Valley. In the fall of 1911 these birds were common about 
the ice ponds and the Big Laramie River near Laramie. 
232. Macrorhamphus griseus scolopaceus: Long-billed Dowitcher. 
We have no records of this bird other than those giver by 
Knight. 
233. Micropalama himantopus: Stilt Sandpiper. 
“Migratory; rare. But little is known of this species in 
Wyoming. From the records one can judge that it will be 
found occasionally in all of the non-mountainous parts of 
the state. In Bond’s collection there is a female bird that 
was taken March 25, 1889, from a flock of four or five 
birds. Jesurun has taken this bird at Douglas and Coues 
reports it from Fort Bridger.” (Knight. ) 
239. Pisobia maculata: Pectoral Sandpiper. 
“Migratory and rare. It has been taken by Jesurun at 
Douglas and once upon the Laramie Plains. The latter 
specimen is in the University collection and was taken at 
Seven Mile Lake in November, 1897.” (Knight.) 
241. Pisobia bairdi: Baird’s Sandpiper. 3 
Fairly common migrant over the southern half of Wyo- 
ming. -Probably occurs in the northern portion.
