Pintail * 
While only 34 hands have been returned from a total of 221 
pintails released the distribution shown is the most remarlo&ble of 
any of the birds included in the present account (see fable 5). Only 
seven, banded pintails were hilled near the mouth of Sear River, five 
during October of tit© fall in which released, one probably secured 
la November, and one in April of the following spring. Other 
records for Utah come from Bear River a few miles above its mouth, 
the mouth of the Weber River, the Jordan River, and the marshes west 
of Salt Lahe City, four daring October and thro© during November of 
the fall of their release. Another hilled near the mouth of the 
Jordan River was at freedom from September 29, 1916, until late in 
November. 1920, 
of California, as sham by eight returns from the area between the 
marches above Sul sun Bay and the Imperial Valley south of Galipatria. 
As might be expected several of these birds were shot in the extensive 
marshes of the San Joaquin River in Merced and Fresno Counties. One 
bird released August 20 was hilled October 16, near Bos Palos, Merced 
County, indicating an early migration, while two others were secured 
in November. Two were noted in December and three in Jamary, months 
when in normal years pintails should all be absent from Utah,
