BIRD SURVEY OF PRAIRIE AREA 
391 
Red-winged Blackbirds were common in the swamp, and a pair 
of Marsh Hawks had a nest there. 
Several birds were feeding in the plowed field, among them 
being the Prairie Horned Park and Field Sparrow. The young 
apple trees in the orchard contained many birds. Some of them 
were feeding in the foliage, others were merely resting in the 
branches. The grove had a representative group of woodland 
birds, such as the Flicker, Bluejay, Red -headed Woodpecker and 
Chickadee. 
In closing I wish to express my obligations to the W. A. Hick- 
man family for their kind hospitality, and to Prof. T. C. Stephens 
for the suggestion of undertaking the work and for aid during 
its progress.
