Bird - Lore 



local species by means of bird-skins, the recognition of birds in the field, observations 

 of their feeding and nesting habits by means of bird-blinds, a study of their ecological 

 relationships, and, near the close of the session, their migration movements. Since the 

 session opens July 5, the spring migration movements will have been completed, but 

 students will have an excellent opportunity to observe the nesting habits of many 

 species known only as migrants farther south. Before the close of the session, August 26, 

 early autumnal migration movements will have commenced.

Opportunity will be given to qualified students to do special work on birds. The 

 nature of this work will depend upon the training and inclination of the student and 

 the limitations of the bird fauna of the region. A check-list of the summer birds of 

 the Douglas Lake region has been issued as Occasional Paper No. 27, and may be had 

 on request from the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology, Ann Arbor, Mich. 



A full announcement of the work offered at the Biological Station can be secured by
