Excerpt from List of Birds That Have Been Observed in the State of North Dakota The fauna of the different portions of the state varies so greatly-that a list which simply names the birds found within our borders would be very' unsatisfactory. For ex ample to say that the Whip-poor-will and the Magpie are found in the state is misleading because the former is prob ably not found west of the woods along the Red river, and the latter not east of the Missouri. To overcome this ditti culty with the greatest economy of space I have divided the state into three great sections and then specified in which of these each bird is found. This is done by the figures 1, 2 or 3 after the names. They indicate that. The bird is found in section 1, 2 or 3 as described below. If more than one of these figures occur they show that the bird has been reported from all the sections noted.

Excerpt from List of North Dakota Birds: Found in the Big Coulee, Turtle Mountains and Devils Lake Region, as Noted During the Years 1890 to 1896 and Verified in the Subsequent Years to Date The following list of North Dakota birds is the result of the observations of several seasons, from the spring of 1890 to 1895 inclusive. The list is a verbatim copy of one written in the winter of 1895-6 but has not been published until now for various good and sufficient reasons. The list has been supplemented and confirmed by the observations of the succeeding years. A list made from notes made the past few years would show a great difference in its comparative abundance or rarity of certain species, and no doubt such a list with notes will be gotten out by some one in the near future. In 1895, from the last of March until August 1, my own observations were supplemented and enlarged by reason of a party consisting of Dr. L.B. Bishop of New Haven, Conn, W.H. Hoyt and John Shaler of Stamford, Conn., N.L. Bigelow of Boston, Mass., and myself, being in the field every day collecting and noting the migratory and breeding species of this territory, and it is safe to say that very few, if any, passed through without some one of the party getting a note of them. Notes were also taken and freely given to me by Mr. E.S. Bryant who was collecting near Freshwater, Dry, and Devils Lakes during the same period, confirming our own observations and adding a few species, as credited to him in the list. Some 230 odd species were given in the first list, but very few of which I have not collected myself. Two of the sub-species were described as new by Dr. Bishop and have since been admitted as good by the A.0. U.committee on classification of species, namely: the Dakota Song Sparrow and Hoyt's Horned Lark. The list has since been enlarged by the addition of some 20 species and sub-species is will be noted in the list. In making up the list, I used the nomenclature and numbering as given in the 1895 edition of the American Ornithologists Unions Check list of North American Birds. The following description of the territory covered by this list was made in 1895-96. A description written now would not be recognized as covering the same country. Taking Cando, Towner County, as a center, a radius of 40 miles would circumscribe the territory covered by this list, and the greater portion of the species noted were taken within a radius of 20 miles. It is classed as rolling prairie with no running streams, except in early spring when the Mauvaise river or Big Coulee and its branches become quite a river while the snow is going off, but they soon run down and during the summer are but little more than a succession of water holes of varying size and depth. The prairies are dotted all over by shallow sloughs formed by the drainage. They usually evaporate by the end of May. They are the favorite feeding places of the Sandpipers and Ducks. In the southeastern part of the county are a succession of lakes of some size, known as Chain Lakes, the largest of which are Lakes Alice and Irwin. Lake Alice is fringed with a growth of trees and bushes on two sides, and is the only place in the county where any trees of size can be found. A few miles north of Cando is a series of alkali ponds. These are shallow and often dry up in summer time. While there is water in them they are favorite resting and feeding grounds for the Sandpiper and Duck. Twelve miles north is Snyder Lake, some four or five miles in length and a half mile in width at its widest part. The south end is quite deep. The water in this lake is very brackish although there is one quite large spring of good water near the north end. The northern part of the lake is shallow and filled with a growth of grasses and rushes common to this kind of a place. Ducks, Grebes and Coots nest in numbers here, as well as other water loving birds.
