Whip-poor-will calling clearly for 
quite a period of time on September 
18. I do not usually hear them call 
so long that late in the summer. In 
1968 I was not in the wooded Mis¬ 
souri River area where I hear the 
Whip-poor-will after September 1. 
This is the place where we ordin¬ 
arily hear the Barred Owl. We were 
not there as often in 1968 and did 
not hear it.”

NOTES 
BARNACLE GOOSE, CONTIN¬ 
UED. This goose is not as unusual 
in this area as was indicated in the 
recent article in the Review {NBR 
37:2). Dr. George M. Sutton, Uni¬ 
versity of Oklahoma, a long-time 
Honorary Member of NOU who drew 
the owl now used on the cover, 
writes: 
This handsome species has been 
taken in Oklahoma once (see Sut¬ 
ton, 1967, Oklahoma Birds, p. 56: 
head, neck, and wing preserved) and 
seen on one other occasion (see 
Baumgartner, 1959, Audubon Field 
Notes, 13:44; and Marquardt, 1960, 
Southwestern Naturalist, 5:228). A 
goose seen on 26 March 1950 near 
St. Charles, Missouri, was thought 
to be a Barnacle Goose (see Blue¬ 
bird, 1950, 17:5; and Nature Notes, 
1951, 22:59).
