thicket near Fernan Lake shore, August 1, 1914. 
Empidonax wrighti. Wright Flycatcher. Not common summer resident in dense

thicket in Fernan swamp, September 1. 
Otocoris alpestris merrilli. Columbian Horned Lark. Common summer resident 
on the prairie, west and north of the city. 
Pica pica hudsonia. Black-billed Magpie. Common fall and winter visitor, gener- 
ally arriving early in September, remaining throughout the winter, and migrating early 
in spring. Earliest record of 
arrival, August 27, 1914. 
Cyanocitta stelleri annec- 
tens. Black-headed Jay. Com- 
mon resident; most numerous in 
dense wooded canyons and 
swamps.

tal is. White-headed Jay. Not

Nucifraga Columbians. 
Clarke Nutcracker. Irregular 
fall and winter visitor; abund- 
ant during good cone seasons. 
Abundant from October, 1911, to 
December 28, 1912; none seen 
again until August 11, 1914, the 
earliest date I have noted them. 
As they feed principally on the 
seeds of the western yellow pine 
in this vicinity, the irregularity 
of occurrence could be caused 
by pine-cone crop, which is 
heavy every two to four years.

olink. Rare summer resident of 
St. Joe marshes. Several seen 
in tall grass in meadow near 
Wolf Lodge creek.

dent of the marshes. Two specimens examined, taken on St. Jce marshes.
