life list. The arctic towhee was also seen several times. He is distinguish- 
able from ours by the large amount of white in the scapular region of the 
back, beside that in the wings. The song also is a little different from that 
of ours. So far as I could see the goldfinches were the same as ours; the 
Arkansas was not identified. 
One flycatcher seen corresponds to Coues’, which is not supposed to range 
so far north. A hawk seen, characteristically in a creek bottom, had a single 
broad white mark across the base of the tail (not rump), corresponding in 
its general dark color to the zone-tailed of Mexico; another hawk, light 
brown with the entire tail white, which may have been Sennett’s white-tailed 
hawk, was seen, also pretty far out of the usual range. With the brown 
variation in immature hawks and eagles plumage, I hesitate to make the 
identification of an unfamiliar one. The white-tailed hawk may possibly 
have been a Krider’s red-tailed, also out of the usual range. 
Only one burrowing owl was seen, and that not in any prairie dog town. 
The great horned owl was heard several nights, but not seen. Other birds 
seen were the prairie horned lark, exact subspecies not determined. Of two 
seen together, one had a distinctly yellow throat and supraorbital line, the 
companion gray in those parts, but otherwise of the same size and general

appearance. The white-rumped shrike, with a well-marked white rump, 
was seen several times, but others were indistinguishable in the field from 
our migrant shrike. One day a flock of 52 sandhill cranes flew over, broke 
formation and milled around, calling loudly, but did not alight and finally 
made off. Mr. Greenwalt told me they have often been seen by him over- 
head, but never on the ground in the refuge.
