85. Three-toed Woodpecker. Picoides hirsutus, Vieill. The 

 first of these species is common during the whole of the severe 

 winters of Lake Superior. 



86.. Hairy Woodpecker. Picus viUosus, Linn. 



87. Downy Woodpecker. Picus pubescens, Linn. 



88. Canada Woodpecker. Picus leucomelas, Bodd. 



89. Pileated Woodpecker. Dryocopus pileatus, Linn. 



90. Red-headed Woodpecker. Melanerpes- erythrocephalus, 

 Linn. 



9L Golden-winged Woodpecker. Colaptes auratus, Linn. 



COLUMBID^. 



92. Passenger Pigeon. Ectopistes migratorius, Linn. I have 

 seen them at Portage Lake as early as May 4. 



TETRAONIDiE. 



93. Common Quail. Ortyx Virgimanus, Linn. This is an- 

 other of the birds that follow man in his agricultural movements. 

 A few years since quails were unknown in the Upper Peninsula ; 

 now they are not uncommon on the Point ; as yet they have not 

 been seen on Portage Lake. As more attention is paid to agri- 

 culture for the support of the mining population, the quail will 

 doubtless be common in the fields. 



94. Canada Gi'ouse. Tetrao Canaderisis, Linn. 



95. Ruffed Grouse. Bonasa umbelliis, Linn. The first species 

 is comparatively rare ; I have never heai'd of one being seen on 

 Portage Lake. The latter species is very common in the woods 

 at all seasons of the year. 



96. White Ptarmigan. Lagopus mutus ? Leach. There is a 

 white grouse in this region, but whether it is the L. mutus, albus, 

 or leucurus, I cannot positively say. 



CHARADRIAD^. 



97. Black-bellied Plover. Squatarola Helvetica, Linn. 



98. Golden Plover. Charadrius pluvialis, Linn. 



99. American Ring Plover. Charadrius semipalmatus, Kaup. 



ARDEID^. 



100. Sandhill Crane. Grus Americana, Linn.
