A common migrant. Four were seen about Green Lake all 
summer, 1906. No nests were found. 
Colinus virginianus virginianus (Linnaeus). Bob-White 
The Bob-white is by no means common in all parts of the 
county. It is found in the largest numbers in the town of St.

Very common ten years ago. December 18th, 1903, a flock 
of five hundred was seen on the White River marshes. There 
are many small flocks of eight to forty individuals seen often 
during the winter. In summer it is not uncommon to find nests 
in the dry meadows along the Fox and White Rivers. Very 
rare along the Puckyan River. 
Pediocetes phasianellus campestris Ridgway. Prairie Sharp- 
Tailed Grouse 
There was a fine mounted specimen (male) in the possession 
of the late Mr. Bartol. It was taken in 1886 on the marshes 
south of Princeton. Kumlien and Hollister report it from Marke- 
san. 7 If it is found within the boundaries of the county it must 
be rare.
