At the extreme southern portion is Lake Maria, which is slightly 
larger than Little Green Lake. It is drained by Maria Creek 
which flows into the Grand River. 
The northern portion of the county is wooded, in part by 
virgin forest. This is especially true of certain portions of the 
town of Seneca, and of the northern part of St. Marie. The 
water courses of the Fox and White Rivers are bordered by much 
swamp, meadow T , and woodland. Lake Puckaway is one of the 
famous duck lakes in this section of the state and it affords an 
interesting region for the study of w r ater fowl. 
The general topography of the county is rolling, with many 
knolls, running diagonally across the county, as the result of the 
terminal, recessional, and ground moraines of the Glacial Epoch. 
Consequent to this greatly varied topography and location Green 
Lake County has a rich avifauna. 
The present list is based on the w T riter’s observations since 
1902. In a previous list, published in 1912,** only resident birds 
were listed. All birds here recorded have been personally iden- 
tified. "Whenever a species is included upon a study of a mounted 
specimen it is given because of satisfactory evidence that it w T as 
taken within the county. 
The following is a list, more or less complete, of birds actually 
taken and observed in Green Lake County.
