Migration continues in the northwest despite the pleasant weather. We
have lost the flycatchers for another year, the warblers are fast
disappearing, now the sparrows , AMERICAN ROBINS, and EASTERN BLUEBIRDS
are moving through. Soon there the waterfowl will come in force, just
before the cold and snow.

left by September 21 and on September 22, numerous TURKEY VULTURES could
be seen in the area.

East Grand Forks is being visited by 20 WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS, 7
