Aging mourning doves by outer primary wear
H. M. Wight, L. H. Blankenship, R. E. Tomlinson
1967, Journal of Wildlife Management (31) 832-835
Many immature mourning doves (Zenaidura macroura) cannot be aged by the conventional white-tipped primary covert method if molt has proceeded beyond the 7th primary. A new method of aging doves in this group is based on the presence (immature) or absence (adult) of a buff-colored fringe on the tips of...
The petrography of some Illinois Pleistocene and recent sands
R. E. Hunter
1967, Sedimentary Geology (1) 57-75
Some Recent and Pleistocene sands of Illinois and the nearby Missouri River were separated into three groups by petrographic characteristics that reflect source material. The sands derived largely or entirely from the glacial material of Illinois and the upper Mississippi, Wabash, and Lake Michigan drainage basins contain types of feldspars...
Effects of the March 1964 Alaska earthquake on glaciers
Austin Post
1967, Professional Paper 544-D
The 1964 Alaska earthquake occurred in a region where there are many hundreds of glaciers, large and small. Aerial photographic investigations indicate that no snow and ice avalanches of large size occurred on glaciers despite the violent shaking. Rockslide avalanches extended onto the glaciers in many localities, seven very large...

Water-resources of the Antelope Valley-East Kern Water Agency area, California
R. M. Bloyd Jr.
1967, Open-File Report 67-21
The Antelope Valley-East Kern Water Agency (AVEK) area, most of which is within the Mojave Desert region of southern California, lacks adequate water resources to sustain the existing rate of ground-water pumpage for irrigation, industrial, and domestic use. However, by 1972 the California Aqueduct, a part of the California Water...
Preliminary geologic section from Pahute Mesa, Nevada Test Site, to Enterprise, Utah
P. J. Barosh
1967, Open-File Report 67-11
The 154-mile long geologic cross section trends nearly perpendicular to the structural grain of the Basin-Range province in Nevada, and in Utah extends eastward into the transition zone between the Basin-Range and Colorado Plateau provinces. The structure is characterized by complex thrust: faults, involving uppermost Precambrian to lower Mesozoic sedimentary...

Geology and ground-water resources of the Big Sandy Creek Valley, Lincoln, Cheyenne, and Kiowa Counties, Colorado
Donald L. Coffin, Clarence Albert Horr
1967, Water Supply Paper 1843
This report describes the geology and ground-water resources of that part of the Big Sandy Creek valley from about 6 miles east of Limon, Colo., downstream to the Kiowa County and Prowers County line, an area of about 1,400 square miles. The valley is drained by Big Sandy Creek and...
Availability of water in eastern Saunders County, Nebraska
Vernon L. Souders
1967, Hydrologic Atlas 266
The sand and gravel deposits of Quaternary age constitute the most important ground-water reservoir and are the source of nearly all the water pumped from wells in the area. An estimated 3.5 million acre-feet for good quality water is stored in these deposits and an additional 1.5 million acre-feet is...

Swatara Creek basin of southeastern Pennsylvania: An evaluation of its hydrologic system
Wilbur Tennant Stuart, William J. Schneider, James W. Crooks
1967, Water Supply Paper 1829
Local concentrations of population in the Swatara Creek basin of Pennsylvania find it necessary to store, transport, and treat water because local supplies are either deficient or have been contaminated by disposal of wastes in upstream areas. Water in the basin is available for the deficient areas and for dilution...
