STUDY OF BIRD OBJECT OF TRIP
Prof. H. H. Nininger to Go From S. Dakota to Mexico
McPherson, Kan. - A study of bird life from South Dakota to Mexico City and back along the western coast of Mexico said the United States to Canada, will be made this summer by Prof. H. H. Nininger, head of the biological department of McPherson college here.
Professor Nininger will make the trip under the auspices of the National Oralthology society, and it is expected to result in the most important discoveries in the interests of oralthology.
The party will start from western South Dakota and travel in a house car built especially for the purpose.
Care will be taken to keep well ahead of cold weather, so that the birds can be studied in advance of the migratory period for the American species.
Crossing the Rio Grande, the party will continue south, gathering data on the species both rare and common to Mexico. While there, the migratory birds of the northland, which will have sought winter quarters, will be closely observed.
From the City of Mexico, Professor Nininger will move northward, traveling along the western coast of Mexico and the United States until the Canadian border is reached.
Colleges and universities along the route in both countries have asked Professor Nininger for his disclosures.

This part of the country is believed to have been a shallow lake in prehistoric times and animals left their tracks in the stiff muck about its shore.

PDF copy of this article, and most I post (and about 1/2 of those on my website), is available upon e-mail request.
The NPA in the subject line, stands for Newspaper Article. The old list server allowed us a search feature the current does not, so I guess this is more for quick reference and shortening the subject line now.
