FURTHER OBSERVATIONS ON MINNESOTA BIRDS; 
THEIR ECONOMIC RELATIONS TO 
THE AGRICULTURIST. 
I'. I.. WASIIIU’KX. 
d'he increasiiii^' interest in our birds jirompts the J3ntomologist 
to add to the information ]jul)lished with colored ])lates in Circular 
32, from this office, by issuing' the ])resent leaflet. It is manifestl} 
out of the (piestion to discuss all of our bird residents or visitors, 
or e\en to list and figure them in a circular. It has been our aim, 
therefore, rather, to describe, briefl}', different tv])es representing 
certain grou])s common in Alinnesota. There has been a great 
demand for Circular 32 on the part of schools and it is hoped that 
these lirief accounts of Alinnesota bird life may also be of service. 
\A e are particularly fortunate, through the kindness of the 
artist, Louis Agassiz h'uertes, of Alabel ( )sgood W right, the living 
author, and the Alacmillan Comjianv, publishers of “Citizen Bird,’’ 
to be able to present here a few of the excellent and accurate 
illustrations with which that ])ublicatioii is adorned. It is with 
the greatest ])leasure that we acknowledge our ajipreciation ot 
the courtesv extended bv the above.
