NORTH DAKOTA BIRD NOTES
A Cfouo
BY o. A. Stevens
North Dakota Agricultural College

The return of summer birds brings
back old friends Of the year before.
Some bird with q missing leg or other
distinctive feature may be cen for
two or more years in succession. A
pair nesting in the same place In sue
ceeding years often is assumed to be
the same, but this Is not necessarily
true. Positive information is OBJ
tanned by trapping the birds and mark
ing by means Of numbered metal
bands.
This method of study is now being
carried on by the biological survey Of
the u. 8. department Of agriculture
through the aid Of some 1900 cooper
ators located in various parts Of the
United States and Canada. At pres
ent North Dakota has IL such CO.
operators as follows: Mary e. Arm
strong, Cooperstown; Glenn Berner,
Jamestown: q. G. Bierens. Fair.
mount: H. l.. Chaffee, Armenia: AL
bert Harris. Mapletou: Olga Lakela,
Minot: G. I. Nelson. Fargo: Welsey
D. Parker. Fort Totten: L. G. Petit
bone. Dawson: Edgar 8. Preston.
Tower City: o. A. Stevens, Fargo;
Perna M. Slime. Minot; Frank J. Veg
tasa, Fairdale.
Trapping Stations
South Dakota has II such trapping
stations, Manitoba 8 and Minnesota
AZ. The cooperators receive no pay,
but work only for their own pleasure
and for the advancement Of science.
They must secure both federal and
state permits for the purpose and
provide their own traps. Bands and
report blanks are furnished BY the
Biological Survey. A record Of all
birds Is kept at Washington by the
serial numbers Of the bands. The
limit Of figures which could be used
on q band was soon reached, so-that
most bands now In use bear also q
J letter A, B, G, etc. Anyone who finds

this spring 2 banded last year and 2
the year before. Probably q larger
proportion would be secured II they
were not rather difficult to trap. A
third bird Of two years ago was found
dead In the street, having been In the
netghborhood and very probably all
last year a well without being caught.
Other returns from last years birds
the writer has had this spring are q
chipping sparrow, cowbird and
grackle.
A robin was captured by Mr.. Bern
er at jamestown which had been
banded three years before by Mrs. A.W.
Guest formerly Of jamestown. The
two stations are about q mile apart
indicating q possible slight shift. In
nesting locality. Rev. Bierens Of Fair
mount reports the recent capture OF
q robin banded last year. A dead
bird found by Mexican laborers at
st. Thomas, N. D.. April 3, 1880,
proved to be q killdeer banded when
. young bird in 1928 by Mi. vegtasa
at Fairdale, N. D. Miss Lakela Of
Minot just reported the capture Of q
nesting pair Of chicadees, both Of
which were banded by her last winter.
This establishes definitely that our
chicadees may be permanent Isl
dents. We have suspected that many
Of them 60 elsewhere to nest ard fur
ther reports on them will be awaited
with much interest.
Live Five to Six Years
A very few reports from older sta
tions In other states have shown bicds
returning for five or six years. so that
this appears to be nearly the extreme
length Of life for our small birds
Many other problems are being
studied by the banding method. While
the migrating birds have given few
returns they have told us much about
migration movements. The writer
found that the Harris sparrows re-
manned on the average about q week
during fall migration but only two
or three days In the spring. Occa-
sional birds remained two or three
weeks In the fall and the young birds
fingered longer than the old ones. A
white throated sparrow banded near
Chicago In the spring Of 1923 was
found dead at Mooyhead, Mimi, the

the original bander Is notified OF the
finding Of the bird.
Most Of the trapping stations consist
Of one Or two traps In the back yard
where only q few birds are taken
each year. At q few Of the largest
stations more than 1000 birds are
taken during q year. Some people
give special attention to ducks, gulls,
etc., and new types Of traps are being
devised for species which are more
difficult to secure. Trapping Is at
tended by some chance Of injury to
the birds. but on the whole the bene-
fits which they receive are far greater.
What Banding Shows
The results Of banding have shown
that birds very commonly do return
to the same place to nest, and what
Is more interesting that they return to
the same place for the winter. Those
