A THREE TOED WOODPECKER

A THREE TOED WOODPECKER

CAPTURED BY PROF. REIGHARD AND TAXIDERMIST WOOD

What the Museum Gets from Their Trip Along the Au Sable

Prof. Reighard and Norman Wood and no more "Warblers" in Kirkland but come back from their scientific explorations along the Au Sable with twenty-five bird skins, eleven mammals, a large numer of fishes, quite a variety of shells from river and land, some insects, three species of snakes, three species of frogs, one toad, and rarest of all, a three-toed woodpecker, found on the west line between Oscoda county and Crowfard.

The trip was in all ways a success, said Mr. Wood, except for six days of rain, when we made nine camps, ate our own cooking, and did collecting.

They travelled 300 miles on the river in a boat made by Mr. Wood at Grayling, which withstood the water from above and below and carried a nine foot square tent, nets, seines, guns, craw fish and a fifteen days' stock of provisions.

The results of this expedition are the property of the museum but the fun of it belongs to Messrs. Reighard and Wood.
