THE AMERICAN MIDLAND NATURALIST 



Birds Found in Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan 



BY BROTHER ALPHONSUS, C. S. C. 



The species of birds in this list were seen by the writer in the 

 period between March, 1905 and September, 191 8. That the 

 number of species is not larger is due to the scarcity of water and 

 shore birds in the places where the writer has done his observing. 

 Other observers in localities where there are marshes can easily 

 find two hundred species of birds. In this list there are omissions 

 of certain species that were published by the writer in previous 

 articles in the American Midland Naturalist. These omissions were 

 made because the records of the species were afterwards found to 

 be erroneous. Any species, then, not included in the present list 

 are not vouched for by the writer as having been reliably recorded.
