June 8, Moose Jaw to Swift Current/15 becomes more rolling, and the higher parts drier; there are still ponds in the depressions, two also well-marked water-courses. There is a quick change from grain- growing to cattle-nursing, and the whole country is a great pasture. A pencil census (Mrs. G. Checking), from Moose Jaw(11:20) to Mortlach 12:20, gave: Widgeon 3; Shoveller 2; Sanzuncuh Sparrows 3; Crow 12; Red-winged Blackbird 24; Eastern Kingbird 3; unknown small birds 5; unrecognized ducks 7; Western Meadowlark 6; Horned Lark 4; Brewer Blackbird 25; Bank Swallow 13; Swainson Hawk 2; Lark Bunting 4; English Sparrow 19; Tree Swallow 2; Mourning Dove 2; Cowbird 5; Long-billed Curlew 1. Total 17 species, and 152 individuals, in 1 hour.
