NORTH AMERICAN RAILS AND THEIR ALLIES. 5 Plain, Alta. (Stansell). At the present time the species has proba-bly ceased to breed anywhere in the United States or Manitoba, andthe few remaining individuals—for the species is almost extinct—spend the summer in southern Mackenzie and the northern parts ofAlberta and Fig. 1.—Whooping crane (Grus americana). Winter range.—-The winter range is rather restricted, extendingfrom southern Louisiana (Audubon), along the coast of Texas tonorthern Tamaulipas (Nelson), La Barca, Jalisco (Goldman), andSilao, Guanajuato (Nelson). Formerly the species ranged in wintereastward to western Florida (Nuttall). 6 BULLETIN 128,, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. Migration range.—The whooping crane seems to have had a pro-nounced southeastward migration in the fall, bringing it to Emsdale,Ont. (Fleming), Yarker, Ont. (Ewart), Cayuga Lake, N. Y. (Eaton),and Beesleys Point, N. J. (Turnbull). There are good grounds forbelieving that in early colonial times it wandered not rarely toVermont and Massachusetts. It ceased to visit New England acentury ago, and there are hardly a half dozen records of its occur-rence in the last 25 years east of Lake Huron and the AlleghenyMountains. The whooping cran
