Michigan 
Michigan ranks third in number of recoveries on file at the 
Patuxent Refuge with a total of 2,730. Commencing with the Upper 
Peninsula, we have Munuscong at the eastern tip and Seney near the 
center of the Peninsula some 80 miles to the west. These two stations 
account for 868 and 662 recoveries from fall bandings, respectively. 
One would assume that the pattern of distribution would be 
much the same from these two stations. However, there appears to be 
enough difference between the two in the shift in the distribution of 
their recoveries in an east-west direction to warrant separate consid- 
eration. A comparison by divisions following the same breakdown as 
before would illustrate the difference in pattern between northern 
stations separated in an east-west direction by a relatively few 
miles (also see p.44 ).
