Bather common in spring when the ice 

 of the river breaks up, possibly a pair oc- 

 casionally breed on the cliffs of Storm King 

 on the opposite side of the river ; the old 

 settlers of the place at least affirm it. 



ECTOPISTES MIGBATORIUS, H'Ud PigCOH. 



Not rare in migrations, but I do not know 

 of their breeding, though they probably do 

 occasionally.

 common, having been killed off by the wild 

 cats on the mountains and the hunters on 

 the lowlands ; regular, and winters. 



OBTYX VIBGINIANUS, Quail. Not rare at 

 Orange Lake, the only place I found them, 

 probably regular, as I found them June 10,

 not.
