It may not be very generally known, but it is a fact, that North Dakota is the fourth state in the union regarding the number of species of wild birds found throughout the year within its borders. Nebraska being first, Colorado second, and Texas third. North Dakota lies in the great zone of bird migration, and has a wide stretch of territory from east to west and a considerable variety in climate from north to south.
