An Addition to the Oregon List of Birds
Online Full Text
On October 3, 1920, while walking along the banks of the Snake River near Ontario, Oregon, my attention was attracted by a single tern flying over the river. One of our party shot the bird, which proved to be a female Common Tern (Sterna hirundo). On October 4, a number were observed and another specimen collected. On my return to Portland I was surprised to learn that there was no printed record of the occurrence of this bird in the State. The first specimen secured is now in my possession and I take pleasure in adding this species to the State list.
