WISCONSIN: 

Double-crested cormorant, upland plover, white pelican, long-billed curlew, lesser snow goose, Hudsonian curlew, sandhill crane, golden plover, woodcock, dowitcher and long-billed duck; spruce grouse, knot, prairie sharp-tailed grouse, marbled godwit and bald eagle.  All these, formerly abundant, must now be called rare in Wisconsin.—­(Prof.  George E. Wagner, Madison.)

Common tern, knot, American white pelican, Hudsonian godwit, trumpeter swan, long-billed curlew, snowy heron, Hudsonian curlew, American avocet, prairie sharp-tailed grouse, dowitcher, passenger pigeon.  Long-billed dowitcher and northern hairy woodpecker.—­(Henry L. Ward, Milwaukee Public Museum.)

Wood-duck, ruddy duck, black mallard, grebe or hell-diver, tern and woodcock.—­(Fred. Gerhardt, Madison.)

WYOMING: 

Sage grouse and sharp-tailed grouse are becoming extinct, both in Wyoming and North Dakota.  Sheridan and Johnson Counties (Wyoming) have sage grouse protected until 1915.  The miners (mostly foreigners) are out after rabbits at all seasons.  To them everything that flies, walks or swims, large enough to be seen, is a “rabbit.”  They are even worse than the average sheep-herder, as he will seldom kill a bird brooding her young, but to one of those men, a wren or creeper looks like a turkey.  Antelope, mountain sheep and grizzly bears are going, fast!  The moose season opens in 1915, for a 30 days open season, then close season until 1920.—­(Howard Eaton, Wolf.)

Sage grouse, blue grouse, curlew, sandhill crane, porcupine practically extinct; wolverine and pine marten nearly all gone.—­(S.N.  Leek, Jackson’s Hole.)

CANADA

ALBERTA: 

Swainson’s buzzard and sandhill crane are now practically extinct.  Elk and antelope will soon be as extinct as the buffalo.—­(Arthur G. Wooley-Dod, Calgary.)

BRITISH COLUMBIA: 

Wild fowl are in the greatest danger in the southern part of the Province, especially the wood-duck.  Otherwise birds are increasing rather than otherwise, especially the small non-game birds.  The sea otter is almost extinct.—­(A.  Bryan Williams, Provincial Game Warden, Vancouver.)

MANITOBA: 

Whooping crane, wood-duck and golden plover.  Other species begin to show a marked increase, due to our stringent protective measures.  For example, the pinnated grouse and sharp-tailed grouse are more plentiful than in 15 years.  Prong-horned antelope and wolf are threatened with extinction.—­(J.P.  Turner, Winnipeg.)

The game birds indigenous to this Province are fairly plentiful.  Though the prairie chicken was very scarce some few years ago, these birds have become very plentiful again, owing to the strict enforcement of our present “Game Act.”  The elk are in danger of becoming extinct if they are not stringently guarded.  Beaver and otter were almost extinct some few years ago, but are now on the increase, owing to a strict enforcement of the “Game Act.”—­(Charles Barber, Winnipeg.)
