Dr. Alexander etmore; 
I think the first record of this bird to be taken in the State of Utah, 
and possibly the Great Basin Territory. I think the nearest record fcr 
this bird around here is a specimen that was taken in the Yellowstone 
National Park a number of years ago. I shall be very glad to have you 
see this specimen on your visit out here, 1 an of the opinion that it is 
a non-breeder and wandered in with some of the early migrant shore birds 
that apoear on the marsh in July and .august. 
future. 
I hope I shall have the pleasure of hearing from you in the 
With kind regards
