Notes [September 1981]

Abstract

GREAT-TAILED GRACKLE. The note on Great-tailed Grackles at Columbus (NBR 49:28) incorrectly described them as nesting ; Prof. Holtz\u27s report said only a pair of Greattailed Grackles . This error apparently came from overloading memory before typing in transcribing the report. CHASE COUNTY. Iola Pennington, Wauneta, made five reports on her observations at Wauneta, Enders Reservoir, and Champion from 25 February to 26 April 1981.
