APPENDIX 11. — AUGHEY ON LOCUST-FEEDING BIRDS. [53] 



Tringa FUSCicoLLis, Vieill. 



Bonaparte^ s Sandpiper; Whitc-rumped Sandpiper, 



I have only occasionally seen this bird in Nebraska, and never obtained a specimen 

 during locust years. I place it here only because of th« known characters of its con- 

 geners. 



Tringa canutus, Linn. 



Bed-hreasted Sandpiper ; Boihin Snipe ; Knot. 



Occasionally seen in Nebraska. A single specimen sent to me to identify from 

 Brownville, in October, 1874, had 11 locusts, besides a large number of other insects, in 

 its stomach. 



LiMOSA FEDOA, (Linn.) Ord. 



Great Marbled Godwit. 



Common in Nebroska, and breeds here. It does not disdain locusts when it can 

 obtain them, though it never feeds exclusively on them, as this short record indicates :
