BIRDS OF OREGON 



TABLE 2.. RETURNS OF WATERFOWL BANDED IN OREGON, BY LOCALITIES, TO JULY 

 [M=Lake Malheur; O= Other points] 



Range at Moiese in northwestern Montana are recovered in Idaho, Wash- 

 ington, and Oregon. These birds gather in Montana on their southward 

 movement from the Alberta and Saskatchewan country, travel from there 

 to the headwaters of either the Columbia or Snake Rivers and down these 

 rivers to western Oregon, and then turn south. Returns from this band- 

 ing station illustrate vividly the fact that Oregon sportsmen are vitally 

 interested in the welfare of the birds in the Canadian plains section. 



1 As indicated in Table i there are a few other species of ducks of which small numbers have 

 been banded in Oregon, but the returns are too few to be of importance and so are omitted 

 in this table.
