icteria virens longicauda: Long-tailed Chat. 
Rather common summer resident over most of the state at 
the lower altitudes where they can find suitable brushy 
streams. 
685. Wilsonia pusilla pusilla: Wilson’s Warbler. 
Knight reported that it is a summer resident not uncom- 
mon. Most of the recent observers have reported the 
Pileolated Warbler as quite common. If there is a recog. 
nizable form such as pileolata, it certainly occurs in this 
region.

685a. Wilsonia pusilla pileolata: Pileolated Warbler. 
Abundant summer resident and ranging well up into the 
mountains. (See comments under the preceding species.) 
687. Setophaga ruticilla: Redstart. 
Knight recorded it as an uncommon summer resident and 
cited a few occurrences. Metz is the only recent observer 
who records it. | 
MOTACILLIDAE (Wagtails). 
The Pipits live at high altitudes and are of but slight economic 
importance in Wyoming, except during migrations, when they de- 
scend to the lower altitudes and catch many insects.

697. Anthus rubescens: Pipit. 
Knight said this was probably a summer resident and quite 
abundant in marshy places during the spring. Walker has 
found it breeding abundantly above timber line in alpine 
meadows in July. Jewett, Metz, Peabody, and Blackwelder 
record it. 
700. Anthus spraguei: Sprague’s Pipit. 
“Thus far this species has been reported only by Mr. Bond 
of Cheyenne, who has two skins in his collection that were 
taken April 24, 1888. This will probably prove a rare spe- 
cies in Wyoming, but not accidental.” (Knight.)
