Swenk noted neither this nor the preceding at Haigler either 

 in 1903 or 1905. 



22. Chordcilcs virginianus scnnetti Coues— Sennett Nighthawk. 



A common summer resident and breeder. Swenk noted it 

 frequently on the high ground between Grant and Imperial 

 and at Max, Parks and Haigler. Zimmer collected a male 

 at Haigler, July 5, 1911. It renders itself conspicuous by 

 perching on the tops of the fence posts during the day. 



23. Tyraiinits tyranniis (Linnaeus) — Kingbird. 



Swenk noted this flycatcher at Haigler June 26, 1905, one 

 bird only being seen, while in 1911 Zimmer found it rather 

 common in the same locality, July 4-11. 



24. Tyr annus vcrticalis Say — Arkansas Kingbird. 



Swenk found this species common in Dundy county in 

 1903, especially eastwardly. At Max he noted five birds, at 

 Benkelnian two and at Parks one. He did not see it at 

 Haigler either in 1903 or 1905, nor did Zimmer note it at 

 Haigler in 1911. 



25. Sayornis sayns (Bonaparte) — Say Phobe. 



At Haigler, July 24, 1903, Swenk noted a pair of Say 

 Phoebes and two yeju's later, on June 26, 1905, he saw several 

 different birds at that place. In 1911, Zimmer noted the bird 

 there several times, and saw it also at Imperial, July 2, 1911. 

 This flycatcher is quiet and rather shy, and its soft "pe-ur" 

 or 'Svhe-eer" is in keeping with its actions and appearance 

 and in contrast to the vociferous and aggressive Kingbird. 



26. Otocoris alp est r is Icucolacma (Coues) — Desert Horned Lark. 



In 1903 Swenk found this bird very common in Dundy 

 county, noting it at Max, Benkelman and Haigler ; it was, in 

 fact, one of the commonest birds in the region. In 1905 it 

 was very abundant along the road between Ogallala and 

 Grant, June 22, but in Dundy county it was almost absent. 

 Zimmer did not find it much in evidence in 1911, and noted 

 it but twice at Haigler, July 5 and 6. 



2y. Cyanocitta cristata (Linnaeus) — Blue Jay. 



Not noted by Swenk in 1903 or 1905, but present, though 

 not very common, at Haigler in 1911, several individuals be- 

 ing present which were noted July 6, 7, 8, and 11. 



28. DoUchonyx orycivorus (Linnaeus) — Bobolink. 



Noted only once, a single bird in a valley near a large
