White-winged Dove Bryant, Zoe, II. 1891, 189 (San Jose del Cabo). 



This Dove is abundant at all seasons over the entire Peninsula south of La 

 Paz, breeding at every altitude from the sea-coast to the tops of the highest 

 mountains. To the northward it extends at least as far as San Fernando 

 (about latitude 30°), where, according to Mr. Anthony, it is rather common 

 (Bryant). Mr. Frazar took fresh eggs at La Paz on March 24, and at Triunfo 

 in April and again in June. On the Sierra de la Laguna the birds were mated 

 in May, but apparently had not begun nesting at the date of Mr. Frazar's de- 

 parture (June 9). A few were seen on the summit of this mountain in 

 December. 



The White-winged Dove occurs on or near the Pacific coast from Lower 

 California and Arizona to Costa Rica.
