Song Sparrow 5; Lapland Longspur 25. Total—34 species. The unusual 
number of hawks is probably due to the mouse population which is greater 
than it has been in previous winters. The mallard was found in a field and 
was easily identified by both the color and its quack. The river, at the 
time, was frozen in most places and it was quite a surprise to find the 
mallard. The rufous tails of the Hungarian Partridges along with their 
size served to identify them. The sapsucker, kinglets, redwing, rusty, purple 
finch, and goldfinch were all seen at short distances with 8X glasses and 
distinctive characters noted. The typical calls of all but the sapsucker 
were heard but the longitudinal white wing bar identified it—Frank Wads- 
worth and Donald Duncan.
