Ruffed grouse, teal, canvasback, red-head duck, widgeon, and all species of shore birds, the most noticeable being black-bellied plover, dowitcher, golden plover, killdeer, sickle-bill curlew, upland plover and English snipe; also the mourning dove.--(James M. Stratton and Ernest Napier, Trenton.) Upland plover, apparently killdeer, egret, wood-duck, woodcock, and probably others.--(B.S. Bowdish, Demarest.) NORTH CAROLINA: Forster's tern, oystercatcher, egret and snowy egret.--(T. Gilbert Pearson, Sec. Nat. Asso. Audubon Societies.) Ruffed grouse rapidly disappearing; bobwhite becoming scarce.--(E.L. Ewbank, Hendersonville.) Perhaps American and snowy egret. If long-billed curlew is not extinct, it seems due to become so. No definite, reliable record of it later than 1885.--(H.H. Brimley, Raleigh.) NORTH DAKOTA: Wood-duck, prairie hen, upland plover, sharp-tailed grouse, canvas-back, pinnated and ruffed grouse, double-crested cormorant, blue heron, long-billed curlew, whooping crane and white pelican.--(W.B. Bell, Agricultural College.) Upland plover, marbled godwit, Baird's sparrow, chestnut-collared |
