759c. Dwarf Hermit Thrush. 



Hylocichla guttata nana (AuD.) Brewster. 1902. 



Occasionally seen in the thick brush at Hastings, Burrard inlet, 

 in April, 1889; seen on nearly all the mountains at an altitude of 

 5,000 feet at Chilliwack lake, B.C., in July, 1901 ; first seen on 

 April 2ist, 1S93, at Victoria, Vancouver island, after this date they 

 became common, but most of them left early in May. Some reside 

 all year, as I saw them in January, 1 890. Not common at Clayoquo t 

 sound, Vancouver island in September and October, 1907. (Spread- 

 borough.) British Columbia. (Lord.) Found only during the autumn 

 migration, and then in the coast region. (Streator.) West of the coast 

 region ; near the coast. (Fannin.) Summer resident on mountain tops 

 near Chilliwack. (Brooks.) On the coast of British Columbia in 

 migrations. Probably breeds in the Coast range and mountains 

 of Vancouver island. I was surprised to again meet with this 

 species at Field, where I saw many and secured three birds. One 

 of these in spotted nesting plumage proves that the summer 

 habitat of the dwarf thrush is far more extended than formerly 

 supposed. (Rhoads.) Not uncommon at Vancouver City, Lulu 

 island and Sea island, B.C., in the spring of 1894. (E. F.G.White.) 



Very common everywhere at Sitka, Alaska, especially on the 

 small wooded islands; at low tide they were frequently to be seen 

 feeding among the kelp and rockweed along the shore. (Grinnell.) 

 Specimens of this bird are in the National Museum collection from 

 various points along the timbered coast of southeastern Alaska, 

 including Cook inlet, Sitka, Kadiak and Chugatchik bay. (Nelson.) 

 Rather rare on Queen Charlotte islands. Two adult females were 

 taken at the head of Cumshewa inlet, and one male on Prevost 

 island, June, 1900. (Osgood.)
