BIRDS 



Duck. 



The Tewa have only this one name for species of wild duck; it is 

 also applied to the domestic duck, which has been introduced to some 

 extent among them. Descriptive terms may of course be added to 

 designate definite species or individual ducks. 



The Taos call duck papidnd, the Isleta papiue. The Jemez name 

 meaning duck is wdfifi. 



Hodge gives Waiushr-Jidno as a Duck clan of San Felipe. 



A number of species of duck surely occur in this region during 

 migration, but we have no definite record. 



Kdtfi. 



Branta canadensis canadensis (Linn.). Canada Goose. 



The Tewa have apparently only one name for species of wild goose 

 and this they apply also to the domestic goose. 



Hodge gives Kunm-t aimn as a Goose clan of Isleta. 



McCall 2 says : &quot;I did not meet the Canada goose until I reached 

 the Rio Grande, which was at a point 60 miles below El Paso ; thence I 

 found them tolerably numerous until I left the river near Santa Fe.&quot; 

 He also reports as occasional the snow goose (Chen hyperborcus Tiyper- 

 boreus [Pallas]), white-fronted goose (Anser albifrons gambeli Hart- 

 laub), and the brant (Bernicla brenta Steph. = Branta bernida glau- 

 cogastra [Brehm]) along the Rio Grande, but does not indicate how 

 far north he saw them. Other species doubtless occur, including the 

 whistling and trumpeter swans, but we have no records. 



? Grus canadensis (Linn.). Little Brown Crane. 

 McCall 2 found this crane on the Rio Grande from Santa Fe to El 

 Paso in October, more abundant below Albuquerque. 



fo kg bl, apparently sagebrush softness (to-, Rocky Mountain 

 sagebrush; tie bi, softness, soft). The Santa Clara say 

 merely to tse, . 



Callipepla squamata squamata (Vigors) . Scaled Quail. 

 Judge Abbott and Mr. Dowell say that large flocks sometimes visit 

 the Rito de los Frijoles.
