Dolichonyx oryzivorus Bobolink 
Henderson reports seeing one May 26, 1923, about 8 miles north of 
Belvedere, 
Molothurus ater Cowbird 
Common breeder. 
Xanthocephalus xanthocephalus Yellow-headed Blackbird 
The least common of the local blackbirds. Rather local. A very 
few breed along the shores of lac La Nonne and there is a little colony on 
lake Majeau. 
Agelaius pkoeniceus Red-winged Blackbird 
A very common breeder. I am not prepared at this time to commit 
myself as to the subspecific identification of these birds. 
Sturnella neglecta Western Meadow Lark 
Rather scarce immediately about camp where only occasional birds 
were seen. More common to the east in the better cultivated country. 
Icterus galbula Baltimore Oriole 
Common breeder. 
Euphagus carolinus Rusty Blackbird 
A not uncommon nester, probably not quite as numerous as Brewer’s 
Blackbird. All birds after August 11 were in, or were assuming, rusty 
plumage. Numbers increased from September 9 to October 26, then the 
records closed. 
Euphagus cyanocephalus Brewer’s Blackbird 
Common nester. Not recorded with certainty after August 24. 
Quiscalus quiscula Grackle 
Fairly common breeder. 
Hesperiphona vespertina Evening Grosbeak 
First certainly noted August 30 and present until the close of the 
record October 26. Two females taken September 27. These are both 
rather pale birds with the crowns practically unicoloured with the back, 
typical H. v. vespertina. 
Pinicola enucleator Pine Grosbeak 
Noted by Laing from October 19 until his leaving October 26. Said 
by Henderson to be common winter visitor, but never seen in summer. 
Without specimens no subspecific determination can be made. 
Carpodacus purpureus Purple Finch 
A regular but not very common breeder in the muskegs. 
Passer domesticus House Sparrow 
A small flock about Henderson’s farm buildings, and seen in other 
similar places.
