NON-BREEDING BIRDS THAT FED ON OR ABOVE THE 
TERRITORY OCCUPIED BY THE PRAIRIE 
HORNED LARK AT EVANSTON, ILL. 
Though not so significant as breeding forms of the region still 
a final item of some interest is that which completes the remain- 
ing avifauna found in the vicinity of the home of the Prairie 
Horned Lark. The open field did not present a suitable breed- 
ing ground for these or was not in the proper latitude, yet on 
it or above it they appeared and because of this they have 4 
relationship to our main subject. : 
Grus mexicana. Sandhill Crane. Two alighted on the West 
Subdivision, May 2, probably attracted there by the ungathered 
corn. 
Phasianus torquatus. Ring-necked Pheasant. The Pheasant 
was heard crowing throughout the spring in the grassy marsh 
to the south and a pair was flushed from a weedy hazard in 
July, 1926. 
Zenaidura macroura carolinensis. Mourning dove. The Main 
Subdivision and that to the west were favorite feeding areas for 
the Dove. Here the bird was noted first July 4, 1925, again 
October 4 and 25, 1925. In 1926 the first was seen March 19, 
but none again until April 18. From this latter date until July 
22 (the last visit) they were noted daily, oceasionally two or 
three only, but again in flocks of ten to twenty. 
Love flights were frequent and songs occasional though the 
subdivisions were not breeding grounds but a mutual feeding 
place. On the Main Subdivision the Doves were always in the 
old sand hazards, very probably securing grit, but on the West
