Winter range. — In winter the species occurs regularly north to 

 California (East Park and Alta) ; Arizona (Salt River Bird Reser- 

 vation) ; and southern New Mexico (Haut Creek). East to New 

 Mexico (Haut Creek and Silver City) ; and Guatemala (Volcano 

 Toliman). South to Guatemala (Volcano Toliman) ; Chiapas

 Lower California (Mount Miraflores, El Sauz, La Laguna, Pierce 

 Ranch, and Guadalupe Valley) ; and California (El Cajon, Los 

 Angeles, Carpentaria, Fremont Peak, and East Park). 



The range above described is for the entire species and is occupied 

 chiefly by the typical race, Golumba f. fasciata. Viosca's pigeon 

 {Columba f. vioscae) is confined to southern Lower California and is 

 apparently nonmigratory.

Casual records. — Band-tailed pigeons are rarely taken outside of 

 their normal range. Patch (1922) noted them at Tow Hill, Graham 

 Island, of the Queen Charlotte Group, on July 28, 1919, and states 

 that there is one record from Bella Coola, British Columbia, indicat- 

 ing that they may at times breed farther north than is now known.

 1912, at Englevale, N. Dak.
