     “ It seems to be nowhere a common speeies in the east. but it is 
     
     much more numerous in the mountainous parts of the far west. It is 
     
     confined ehietly to the mountains and more northern latitudes, where 
     
     it hreeds. It is ahle to endure, intense cold. and sometimes remains 
     
     far north in winter. In fact, its movements at that season are more 
     
     in the form of vanilering for food than regular migration to the south. 
     
    

    
     “ The food eonsists mainly of mammals and hirds. of \vhieh sper-
