Hab. — Nortli America at large. Nortb to "57° or furtber " (Fichardson). West to 

 tbe Rocky Mouutaius, beyoud wbicb ouly observed in Wasbingtou and Oregon Terri- 

 tories, and Britisb Columbia. Breeds tbrougbout. Winters on our extreme soutbevn 

 border (Aiidiibon), and tbence into Mexico, Central and South America, to Peru. Cuba. 



Livuteiiaiif H'arreii's Expcdiiion. — 4692, 4695, Upper Missouri ; 5235-36, near Fort 

 Pierre, Dakota ; 5237-38, Farm Island, Missouri River ; 8095, Fr<?mont, on Platte.

The Missouri furuisbes to this and other species a highway across the 

 central i)hiins, of which it readily avails itself, and, crossing the mount- 

 ains of Montana, it occurs in Oregon and Washington Territories. As 

 Mr. Allen observes in a letter to uie, it is "abundant thronghout East- 

 ern and Middle Kansas, and more or less common at Colorado City, 

 Denver, Cheyenne and Ogden, indicating for it a more general western 

 range than it was formerly sui)posed to have, and showing that it may 

 readily reach tbe coast region of Oregon by way of tbe passes north of 

 the mountains of Colorado, and perhaps, also, by way of the Great 

 Utah Basin and the valley of the Columbia. In Colorado it disappears 

 near tbe base of tbe foot-bills, no species of tbe genus being met with 

 above about 7,000 feet." Mr. Trippe also attests its abundance in Colo- 

 rado, on tbe i)lains, and it even straggles as high up as Idaho Springs. 

 Through jS^orthern Dakota, during the whole summer, I found it to be 

 one of the most abundant of all the birds wherever there was any 

 timber.
