back, Buffleheads, Ruddy Duck, Screech Owl, Long-eared Owl, Lincoln’s 
Sparrow, and Swamp Sparrow. The female Barrow’s Goldeneye was ob- 
served over a period of several weeks. The bill was completely yellow, in- 
dicating breeding plumage as well as distinguishing the bird from the Com- 
mon Goldeneye. The Franklin’s Gull was carefully observed by Bertha Hux- 
ford and James R. Ware. The Snowy Owl was observed on each of 10 days.
