60 WYOMING BIRDS. 
524. Leucosticte tephrocotis tephrocotis: Gray-crowned Rosy 
Finch. 
Knight gave no records of the occurrence of this bird in 
the state during the summer. He merely said that it was 
a winter resident, with the idea in mind that it was 
probably a summer resident at the high altitudes. Records 
for it as a summer resident are now quite numerous. It 
is not found in summer in the Medicine Bow Mountains 
as was expected, but Blackwelder reports it from both the 
Big Horn and Teton Mountains during the summer. War- 
ren also saw Rosy Finches: They winter quite commonly 
in the mountains and out on the plains. On March 16, 
1912, Walker found flocks near Laramie, and in November 
and December at 9,000 feet, when the snow was 18 inches 
deep, he found them in the Medicine Bow Mountains. 
524a. Leucosticte tephrocotis littoralis: Hepburn’s Rosy Finch. 
Lockwood and Peabody are the only observers of recent 
years who report it. Knight said it was a winter resident 
and was only known in the southeastern part of the state. 
525. Leucosticte atrata: Black Rosy Finch. 
Richard says this form is a common winter resident about 
Cody, with tephrocotis. The A. O. U. list says, “winters 
south to southeastern Wyoming.” Ridgeway, in Vol. I, 
“Birds of North and Middle America,” pp. 75 and 76, says 
it breeds on Uinta Mountains, Wyoming. Chapman, in 
“Color Key to North American Birds,” p. 179, says, “Breeds 
in Idaho and Wyoming.” Knight said that none of them 
had been reported in recent years. 
528. Acanthis linaria linaria: Redpoll. 
Fairly common winter resident, as reported by many of 
the collectors, but it has not occurred about Laramie during 
the winters of 1911, 1912, and 1913, as they formerly did. 
529. Astragalinus tristis tristis: Goldfinch. 
Messrs. Jewett and Peabody both report this species, but 
Jewett probably confuses it with the Pale Goldfinch, 529a. 
Peabody is no doubt correct, since he collected in a region 
where it is likely to occur and he has had his identification 
verified by an expert.
