Dist.âArctic and subarctic America, breeding from the Fur Countries and Alaska to the Arctic coast, migrating south in winter into the Western United States. The Little Brown Crane, which Is almost exactly like the next species, but smaller, is abundant in Arctic America. I mounted a specimen of this bird which â was taken in the spring of 1884 from a flock of seven birds near Springfield, Ohla It is a rare migrant in the state. Specimens of the bird and its eggs have been taken In various parts of Alaska. Common on the Island of St. Michael's and at the mouth of the Yukon. Eggs were obtained by Mr. Dall, on the Yukon river, June 17th. They were laid In a depression of the sandy beach. This species is common in the marshes of Norton Sound, where their nests are built on the dry knolls, and the eggs are laid before the end of May. Throughout most parts of Manitoba, the Little Brown Crane Is a common summer resident. Eggs have been obtained on the Lower Anderson river, In Franklin Bay, and In Liverpool Bay on the Arctic coast. Nelson states that the Little Brown Crane Is a summer resident upon St. Mathew's and St. Lawrence Islands, and were found nesting by Nordenskjold in considerable numbers at Seniavlne Strait, south of Bering Strait ou the Siberian coast, July 28. Eggs containing small embryos were secured May 27, but they are generally deposited.
