Scattered records from east of the Rooky Mountains have consider¬ 
able mine as they indicate a line of flight to a winter mage. One 
bird released Septen&er 27, 1916, ms Milled about Movenfcer 27 near Graway, 
in the drainage of the Arkansas River on the plains of eastern Colorado* 
Another banded October 23, 1916, was secured near O’Donnell, Dawson 
County, western Texas, on November 22* A third set at freedom August 20, 
1916, was 
&l(u/ 
near Mashville, Kingman County, south central Kansas, 
April 21, 1917, probably while in northward migration, the last of these 
distant records, one without apparent connection with the others, is that 
of an individual released between August 27 and September 27, 1916, and 
Milled January 25, 1919, on the Florence Reservoir, near Florence, Axis., 
in the Gila River Basin. 
The majority of redheads on the Bear River marshes leave in fall 
# . * 
migration between the 1st and the 10th of September, and after that only 
strollers are found. Indications from returns of banded birds are that 
the line of flight is to the eastward, probably to a wintering ground on 
the Gulf ooast of Texas, though nonreturns have actually come from that 
region. It is possible that part of these birds travel northward to the 
drainage area of the Missouri and then swing southward over the plains, 
since two records coma from eastern Idaho at the proper season to support 
such belief. Release of young birds late in September, after the bulk of 
the species has left, may induce more or less aimless wandering among some 
and account for part of the scattered returns. However, there is a distinct 
movement southward along the eastern shore of Great Salt Lake for a distance 
of 60 miles that may be an indication of a second line of southward flight. 
December records for Utah and Idaho are perhaps from injured individuals 
tumble to perform extended flights.
