Three more instances are known from Colorado Springs, 
Denver and Longmont. The one from Denver is in winter 
plumage. Mr. Carter has taken one in Middle Park in the 
spring, this being the first record for Colorado west of the range.

Mr. Carter has a specimen taken September 26, 1886, on an 
alpine lake near Breckenridge at over 10,000 feet. Mr. Aiken 
killed one at Manitou Park, October 10, 1897.

“Nearly cosmopolitan; in North America breeding southward to Vir¬ 
ginia, Lake Michigan, Texas, Nevada and California.”—(A. O. U.) Has been 
taken in Nebraska and probably will later be added to Colorado birds.]

Noted by Mr. Carter only in migration.

This Tern occurs over all of North America, but chiefly east of the 
plains. Specimens of both young-of-the-year and old birds are in Mr. Bond’s 
collection, taken at Cheyenne. It is also known from Kansas and Nebraska, 
so we may confidently expect that the future will add this to the list of Colo¬ 
rado birds.]

“Northern South America, northward to California, Minnesota and New 
England, and casually to Labrador, breeding nearly throughout its range.”— 
(A. O. U.) Has been noted many times in both Nebraska and Kansas and 
undoubtedly comes into eastern Colorado, though up to the present it has no 
Colorado record.]

“West Indies and Central America to southern United States; north in 
the interior to Kansas and southern Illinois.”—(A. O. U.) There has also been 
a specimen reported from Nebraska, so it should be looked for in Colorado.]

White Pelican. 
Several late records indicate that these birds have not yet 
deserted Colorado. A flock of about forty was seen feeding on a 
small lake near Denver in the spring of 1898. 
Mr. Carter has one taken at Breckenridge, August 10, 1892, 
has seen them in both Middle and South Parks, has seen them 
feeding on alpine lakes and even migrating over the mountain 
passes at 13,000 feet.
