LIST OF BIRDS FOUND IX BRITISH 



COLUMBIA, WASHINGTON, OREGON 



AND CALIFORNIA 



This list is based upon the 1910 Check-List of 

 the American Ornithologists' Union, modified in 

 some instances by later information in more up- 

 to-date lists for British Columbia and Oregon 

 generously furnished by Mr. Francis Kermode, 

 Director of the Provincial Museum, Victoria, 

 B. C, and Mr. Stanley G. Jewett of the United 

 States Biological Survey, Portland, Oregon. 



It is not possible with so long a list to give any 

 data on the range, comparative abundance or 

 seasonal status of the species. In numbers they 

 vary all the way from very rare to abundant. 

 The occurrence of some species is irregular in 

 any given locality and the absolute range of 

 many species is still to be worked out by further 

 observation and reports. 



The much hoped for new edition of the A. O. 

 U. Check-List will undoubtedly reveal many 

 new sub-species and changes in the distribution 

 of western birds. In the meantime the author 

 trusts the list of Pacific Coast birds herein con- 

 tained will prove of help to the bird student. It
