LOCAL LISTS 
Local List No. 1. 
FROM WESTERN WYOMING. 
BY ELIOT BLACKWELDER. 
The observations on which the following list is based were 
made in the course of two geological expeditions in the western 
part of the Rocky Mountains. In a good many cases identifications 
are more or less uncertain, as indicated by the question marks 
after the names. ‘This arises from the fact that no specimens were 
collected and in only a few cases were birds shot for identification. 
On the other hand, a very strong Zeiss field glass (12 power) was 
used to great advantage, and this permitted the recognition of many 
species which with the unaided eye would have remained uncertain.
