WYOMING BIRDS. 
icine Bow Mountains, which he thought was this form, but 
identification was not satisfactory. The A. O. U. list, third 
edition, says “west to eastern Wyoming,” but upon what 
authority we cannot say. 
Bubo virginianus: Great Horned Owl. 
Mr. Lockwood reports having taken specimens in Albany 
County which show all gradations between this and the 
succeeding species (375a). Reported also by Buck and 
Walker. Because of the possibility that they confused it 
with the western species, it is placed in the hypothetical list. 
Chordeiles virginianus virginianus: Nighthawk. 
This bird was reported by Richard, but may have been con- 
fused with 420a. See local list by Richard. 
Empidonax virescens: Green-crested Flycatcher. 
“Accidental, if it is entitled to a place in fhe Wyoming 
fauna. The only record is that of Drexel, who reported 
it from Fort Bridger in 1858.” (Knight.) 
Epidonax trailli alnorum: Alder’s Flycatcher. 
Our only record of this species is from Blackwelder’s Teton 
list. It is no doubt authentic, as is also his record for 563a. 
Octocoris alpestris leucolaema: Pallid Horned Lark. 
“There are numerous records referring to this variety as 
occurring in Wyoming. I have endeavored to confirm the 
evidence offered, but have been wholly unable to lecate a 
single skin or specimen that has been taken. On this ac- 
count, it has been placed in this list and further investi- 
gation as to its western range is very desirable.” (Knight.) 
Octocoris alpestris practicola: Prairie Pallid Horned Lark. 
Percival merely reports this form. It is our only record 
of it other than Knight’s record for leucolaecma of Coues, 
which he calls the Pallid Horned Lark. 
Cyanocitta stelleri: Steller’s Jay. 
“Rare or accidental. The only possible record of this bird 
being taken in Wyoming comes from the National Museum. 
Their No. 64443 reads, ‘Taken at Shoshone Lake by Dr. 
C. Hart Merriam’.”” (Knight.)
