found as food on the Main Subdivision is not known but the 
ungathered corn of the West Subdivision was, undoubtedly, the 
attraction there. 
Agelaius phoeniceus phoeniceus. Red-winged Blackbird. In 
the marshy land to the south of the subdivisions several Red- 
wings nested but their occurrence on the area occupied by the 
Lark was adventitious or for food. The first was noted there 
March 31, 1926, and a few other records occur during the 
spring. The ungathered corn of the West Subdivision proved 
the chief attraction and accounted for most of the recorded 
saits 
Quiscalus quiscula aeneus. Bronzed Crackle. The subdivi- 
sions had but little attraction for the Grackle. This bird was 
seen on the area May 23, June 26, 28 and 30, and but one or two 
individuals in each ease. 
Loxia curvirostra minor. Crossbill. In the fall of 1925 the 
sunflowers along the drainage canal near the subdivisions were 
the source of food for small flock of Crossbills. Here they re- 
mained from November 8 to November 28, 1925, and were, a few 
times, noted in one or two of the small sunflower patches of the 
Main Subdivision. 
Acanthis linaria linaria. Redpoll. In an area of evening 
primrose stalks and dead plants of white sweet clover two Red- 
polls were found December 22, 1925. They were the only birds 
upon the entire subdivision. In the same place four were see 
on January 12, 1926. 
Astragalinis tristis tristis. Goldfinch. Like the Crossbill, the 
Goldfinch fed also on the scattering sunflower patches of the 
Main Subdivision in the fall of 1925 and in mid-July, 1926, they 
went into ecstacies over ripe heads of goat’s beard (Tragopogon 
pratensis) on the West Subdivision. They were noted on every 
visit from October 4 to November 28, 1925; appeared on the 
Main Subdivision for the first time on June 2, 1926, and fre- 
quently from that time to late July. 
Spinus pinus pinus. Pine Siskin. On October 4 and 25, 1925, 
the Siskin was noted in large numbers on the sunflowers of the 
Main Subdivision. 
Calcarius lapponicus lapponicus. Lapland Longspur. Here 
was a bird of the same mind as the Prairie Horned Lark, fully 
at home on the almost denuded, uninviting surface of the sub-
