In Milwaukee a short stop was made at Mr. Jung’s house, during which 
he showed some movies taken in Arizona. They left Milwaukee for Green 
Bay at 1:00 P.M. and the following birds were recorded: red-eyed vireo, 1; 
wood pewee, 1; chimney swift, 6; purple martin, 227; spotted sandpiper, 1; 
field sparrow, 2; house wren, 5; barn swallow, 11; black tern, 4; goldfinch, 
2; tree swallow, 1; robin, 15; herring gull, 2; kingbird, 8; song sparrow, 3; 
crow, 3; Savannah sparrow, 12; mourning dove, 2; meadowlark, 5; redwing, 
10; Baltimore oriole, 1; chipping sparrow, 2; ring-billed gull, 2. 
Green Bay, Wisconsin, 200 miles from Chicago, was reached at 4:15 P.M. 
It was still quite light, so it was decided to drive on to Marinette, a distance 
of 56 miles. In this territory the first red pines were seen, and the following 
birds were listed: goldfinch, 3; indigo bunting, 1; kingbird, 1; purple martin, 
135; Savannah sparrow, 3; robin, 2; barn swallow, 4; flicker, 1; chipping 
sparrow, 2; chimney swift, 8; meadowlark, 3; western meadowlark (heard), 
1; song sparrow, 1; bluebird, 1; tree swallow, 20; crow, 23; nighthawk, 5. 
The night was spent at Marinette, and at 9:45 A.M., August 2, the 
party was on its way. It had rained during the night, which made the day 
a little cooler. About half-way between Marinette and Escanaba, Michigan, 
the first hemlock, spruce and balsam trees were noticed. On this portion of 
the route these birds were checked off: house wren, 4; nighthawk, 3; herring 
gull, 41; chimney swift, 5; kingfisher, 2; ring-necked pheasant, 1; robin, 16; 
purple martin, 37; song sparrow, 5; chipping sparrow, 1; kingbird, 25; 
flicker, 4; cedar waxwing, 12; tree swallow, 6; crow, 52; redwing, 7; rusty 
blackbird, 2; black duck, 1; barn swallow, 10; black tern, 14; killdeer, 2; 
Caspian tern, 6; bluebird, 5; meadowlark, 2; yellow warbler, 1; cliff swallow, 
5; catbird, 1; red-eyed vireo, 6; cowbird, 1; goldfinch, 4; wood pewee, 1; 
red-headed woodpecker, 1. 
Escanaba was left at 1:30 P.M., and the following flowering plants were 
noted in abundance from there on: dogwood, wild lettuce, fireweed, mullein, 
goldenrod, elderberry, joe-pye weed, bergamot, dogbane, false heather, and 
blueberries. Between Escanaba and Germfask, the entrance to Seney 
Wildlife Refuge, the following birds were seen: kingfisher, 1; robin, 5; 
kingbird, 6; pied-billed grebe, 1; redwing, 7; common tern, 1; meadowlark, 
2; cedar waxwing, 6; bluebird, 9; crow, 33; cowbird, 2; barn swallow, 2; 
starling, large flock; flicker, 1; vesper sparrow, 1; goldfinch, 3; chimney 
swift, 1; marsh hawk, 1; mourning dove, 1; herring gull, 3; ring-billed gull, 
2; song sparrow, 1; osprey, 1; tree swallow, 1; purple martin, 17; chipping 
sparrow, 3. 
On this trip over 100 birds were not identified. There is not such a 
significant difference in the bird population in the first 200 miles as there 
is 200 to 400 miles north from Chicago. Most of the martins were seen in 
small flocks preparing to go south. Kingbirds were probably the most 
common roadside birds. The route taken was along the lake shore, thus 
explaining the appearance of ducks and gulls. Fifty-three species were 
seen along the 417 miles in the two days.
