It is possible that a local wintering population may be in- 
fluencing the distribution of recoveries but if so apparently not to 
the same degree as on the coast. 
The Chautauqua recoveries total 337 indirects and 175 directs 
of which only 6 are from bandings prior to the shooting season. Over 
60 percent of the direct recoveries were taken locally. The distribution 
is much the same as that of Orland Park except that there is a reduced 
percentage (0.29) taken in the middle Atlantic States, and there is a 
stronger affinity for the Illinois-Mississippi River systems. This would 
be expected since the station is located over 100 miles southwest of the 
Chicago area on the Illinois River. The general population movement is 
from North and Northeast to South and Southwest. The breakdown of the 
indirect recoveries into divisions is as follows: 
Local 31 percent 
_ Other Illinois - 12 percent 
Ontario & Quebec - 5 percent 
Michigan - 7 percent 
Northwest - 22 percent 
Western — - 2 percent 
Mississippi - 19 percent 
South Atlantic - 1 percent 
Middle Atlantic - trace 
For the Spring Lake station there are only 43 indirect and 32 
direct recoveries of which only 9 are from bandings before the shooting 
season. Approximately 59 percent of the direct recoveries and 30 per- 
cent of the indireets are from the vicinity of the banding station. 
Noteworthy is a lack of any indirect recoveries from Ontario. 
The majority of the northern recoveries (18 percent) comes from the 
territory, Wisconsin to Manitoba. The importance of Michigan with 2 
percent is less than that of the other two stations as would be expected 
from the location of the station. 
The 27 recoveries from spring bandings at Chautauqua and 
Orland Park show a southern distribution entirely east of the Mississippi 
River and no recoveries in the Atlantie states. Wisconsin and Michigan 
account for most (15 permit of the northern recoveries. Ontario has 
one record (4 percent
