Resident sandhill cranes of Cuba and Florida nest much earlier 

 than the migrants from farther north. In Cuba eggs are most com- 

 mon in March, but some are laid earlier, for specimens in the 

 U. S. National Museum were taken at Lantana, Fla., February 6-23, 

 1894, and at Manatee, Fla., March 2, 1873. The earliest eggs at 

 Jackson, Mich., were collected May 8, 1901, and May 5, 1902 (Arnold) ; 

 Summerfield Township, Monroe County, Mich., May 2, 1880 (Arnold) ; 

 Dubuque, Iowa, May 11, 1865 (specimens in U. S. National Museum) ; 

 Hayfleld, Iowa, about May 17, 1894 (Anderson); Delavan, Wis., 

 May 30, 1883 (Kumlien and Hollister) ; Minnewaukan, N. Dak., 

 May 2, 1898 (Rolfe); Camp Harney, Oreg., May 2, 1875, April 27, 

 1876, April 24, 1877, and April 14, 1878 (Bendire) ; Gunnison County, 

 Colo., at 8,000 feet altitude, June 5, 1903 (Warren); and Big Quill
