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 Goast 
of fexas, though no returns have actually ooae 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 come from eastern 
Idaho at the proper season to support such belief. Belease of young birds in 
late 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 distinctly indicated movement southward along the eastern 
shore of Great Salt Lake for a distance of sixty miles that may be an indioar- 
tion of a second line of southward flight, December records for Utah and Idaho 
are nerhans from injured individuals unable to perform extended flights.
