The Bobolink is a rather common bird in the fields about Provo, Utah, 

 where the parent birds were noticed feeding their young July 25. In the 

 southern part of the Territory, it appeared to be entirely wanting ; nor has 

 it been found in Arizona or New Mexico. At the Huerfano crossing, 

 Colorado, three or four individuals were seen in company in May, appar- 

 ently migrating to northern districts to spend the summer.
