Silloway's Additional Notes to Summer Birds of Flat-Head Lake
ADDITIONAL NOTES TO SUMMER BIRDS OF FLATHEAD LAKE, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE To SWAN LAKE
By PERLEV MILTON SILLOWAY, Bull, University of Montana, No. 18, Biological Series No. 6. 1903. pp. 291-308, 5 plates.
This paper includes a description of the physiographical features of Swan Lake, Montana, and under Oological Notes, additional observations on the nests and eggs of a considerable list of species. Under Notes on New Birds are listed with annotations eleven species not included in the "Summer Birds of Flathead Lake." The paper concludes with a list of all the summer birds which have been observed about Flathead Lake, numbering 137. A nest of the willow thrush was found in the L wampy area near the station. "Instead of being situated near the ground, it was six and one-half feet above, in an upright crotch of an oblique thorny sapling. The nest was typical of the willow thrush in construction, but the site was so unusual in my experience that I collected the owner for complete identification." Numerous other interesting notes bear witness to Mr. Silloway's careful observation and industry.
