89. Colinus vjrginianus virginianus. 

 BOB-WHITE. 



A rare resident. Breeds. While probably native, our hard 

 and changeable winters make it difficult for these birds to 

 maintain themselves, and if not extinct in the county they 

 were nearly so, when they were introduced and liberated in 

 various places, Verona, New Hartford and Constantia, but the 

 experiment has been of doubtful success, though there are 

 records almost every year of their nesting in the western part 

 of the county. 



90 Canachites canadensis canace. 



CANADA SPRUCE PARTRIDGE. 



Messrs. J. P. & F. J. Davis, taxidermists, of Utica, mounted 

 a pair of these birds which were killed in the town of Greig, 

 Lewis County, many years ago. I have in my collection a fine 

 specimen which was killed at Lake Placid, Essex County, 

 about 1893. 



91. Bonasa umbellus umbellus. 

 RUFFED GROUSE. 

 A common resident. Breeds. 



92. Lagopus lagopus lagopus. 



WILLOW PTARMIGAN. 



"Mr. Romeyn B. Hough has a specimen of this species that 

 was killed in the town of Watson, on the eastern border of 

 Lewis County, May 22, 1876." (Merriam: Preliminary List 

 of the Birds of the Adirondack Region).
