NEST AND EGGS OF CANADA GOOSE Stump Lake, North Dakota sjjlendid birds as they migrate southward in autumn, or in spring when they again turn their wing-beats toward the frozen pole. The great breeding grounds of thi.. Goose are in the LiSrit- ish provinces, few, if any, of the eastern flight pausing in spring south of the Canadian border, in the western States, however, they breed com- monly in many localities. Thus, I have found their eggs on islands in lakes of North Dakota, and come upon the young attended by the parents in Oregon and northern California. It is a rather curious fact that shortly after the young have hatched, the parents begin a molt of feathers which is frequently so extensive that the birds lose the jjower of flight. At this season they must of course depend entirely upon their wonderful ability to swim, when in search of food, or endeavoring to escape their enemies. Canada Geese are not flesh eaters, the grain- fields of the great Northwest being their special delight. During the fall migration they often come here in great numbers and feed on the grain scattered among the stubble at harvest time. Along the lower Missisr-ippi River they may often be seen in the fields of Tennessee and Arkansas. Like most Geese, while feeding, they have one or more sentinels constantly on the lookout for danger. Furthermore the members of a feeding flock are continually rising up and looking about, so that there are always a number of lieads in the air. These birds assemble in enormous numbers on favorite feeding grounds in Chesapeake Bay and in the sounds of North Carolina. In Currituck Sound I have seen one flight that was two hours in passing a given point. Tliey came in one long wavy rank after another, from twenty to thirty of these extended lines of Geese being in sight at a time. The Canada Goose is highly esteemed as an article of food, and when one sto
