Common in cottonwood groves near Provo River, 1872, in July and 

 November ; not seen elsewhere. In Colorado, this appears to be a not very 

 common species ; at all events, it is much less abundant than the Mountain 

 Chickadee. Found indifferently in the heavy pine woods and among the 

 cottonwoods of the streams. Could detect no differences in habits and notes 

 from the eastern Chickadee (atricapillits), from which it chiefly differs in its 

 longer tail and lighter colors.

 Mr. Aiken is, I believe, the only one who has found this species 



in Eastern Colorado, where he reports it as a winter resident, In Utah,
