 Portland) ; Washington (Yakima, Fort Steilacoom, Tacoma, and 

 probably Lake Chelan) ; British Columbia (Okanagan Landing and 

 Cariboo District) ; and probably Mackenzie (Fort Resolution). 



There also is a somewhat questionable breeding record for the kill- 

 deer in Yucatan (Sisal). The breeding range in the northeastern 

 United States became greatly restricted when this region was exten- 

 sively developed, but the birds now seem to be increasing in numbers 

 in this area.

 this season in southern New Hampshire (Isle of Shoals) and in 

 Michigan ( Plymouth ) . 



The West Indian killdeer has been described as a distinct sub- 

 species {Oxyechus vociferus ^mMdus), and is resident. The North 

 American form does, however, regularly migrate to those islands, and
