NOTES FROM FOREST CITY, IOWA, 



I have been trying for the past two weeks to secure photos of Prairie 

 Chickens "dvuniniintr," or "cooing" rather. We have a blind built on a hill- 

 top and while under it in the e\"ening, have seen them ^^ithin six feet of us, 

 cooing, with N\ings drooping, tail spread and (range-yellow neck-sacs expanded. 



Added one more species to my li.st April 17th; a female Winter Wren. 

 Length three and eleven-sixteenths inches, wing one and eleven-sixteenths, 

 tail one and one-quarter, bill three-eighths, and tarsus one-half.
