. The birds of California : a complete, scientific and popular account of the 580 species and subspecies of birds found in the state. Birds; Birds. The Bobolink altitude (that of Eagleville, where the birds were seen, is 4725 ft.), the male birds were in high plumage and singing freely. Although chiefly confined to the portion of America east of the Rockies, Bobolinks had, in all probability, discovered the well-watered region tributary to Salt Lake previous to the advent of the white man. We surmise that they reached this region by an extension of range from the north and east rather than from the south, and that they return annually by some unplotted east-and- west route. The spread of agricul- ture and of irriga- tion in Utah and southern Idaho has been attended by an increase of Bob- olinks in that sec- tion, and it is alto- gether probable that the overflow from those favored regions is seeking out, and will find increasingly, asy- lum in the hay- growing sections of Washington, Ore- gon, and northern California. In view, therefore, of the pleasant possibility that Bobolinks may increase within our borders, I include a few paragraphs written from a frankly eastern standpoint. Next after Bluebird, the com- ing of Bobolink marks the broadest. Taken in Modoc County Photo by the Author EAGLEVILLE AND THE SURPRISE VALLEY, LOOKING EAST WHERE THE BOBOLINKS NESTED IN 1912 138.
