Show full item recordAbstract: | The Hudsonian Godwit in the Dominican Republic.--Dr. R. Ciferri, Director of the Experiment Station at Santiago, D. R., has presented to the U.S. National Museum a specimen of the Hudsonian Godwit Limosa haemastica taken September 22, 1930, on the flats of the Rio Yaque del Norte, near Hato del Yaque, Province of Santiago, Dominican Republic, by Mr. E. Ciferri. Dr. Ciferri writes that a flock of thirty of these birds appeared following the severe hurricane of the season in question, and that four were taken. The species has been only casual in occurrence in the West Indies and is here first reported for either the Dominican Republic or Haiti, where its capture raises the total number of forms of birds definitely known for that island and its dependencies to 217. |
