 dent, found in small flocks in winter. 



533. Spinus pimis (Wils.).— Pine Siskin. Irregular winter visitor, at 



times a common winter resident. Numerous records. 



Passer domestlcus (Linn.). — English Sparrow. Very abundant resi- 

 dent. 



534. Passerina nivalis (Linn.). — Snow Bunting. Winter visitant, coming 



in flocks of considerable size. Several records. 



536. Calcarius lapponicus (Linn.). — ^Lapland Longspur. Common winter 

 resident, often found with flocks of horned larks. Replaced west- 

 ward by C. I. alascensis Kidgw. 



553. Zonotrichia querula (Nutt.). — Harris's Sparrow. Abundant in fall 

 and spring, common in flocks throughout the winter. Beatrice, 

 December 27, 1900; January 12, 1901. 



559. Spizella monticola (Gmel.).— Tree Sparrow. Our most abundant 

 winter sparro^v. 



559a. SpizeUa monticoJa ochracea Brewst. — ^Western Tree Sparrow. Com- 

 mon westward, straggling eastward over the state. Sioux Co., 

 February 18, 1896 (L. Bruner). 



566. Junco aikeni Ridgw. — -White-winged .Timco. Resident in northwest 



Nebraska. Sioux Co.. February 18 to 29, 1896 (L. Bruner).

ident. 



5676. Jiinco hyemalis connectens Coues. — Shufeldt's Junco. Rarely over 

 the state in winter. There are numerous records for the "Oregon 

 Junco" in this state, but that form is confined to the Pacific Coast 

 region, and most of them are doubtless referable to this variety. 

 Without much doubt some are referable to the Montana Junco, 

 Junco montanus Ridgw. The status of this group in Nebraska is 

 in confusion, and certainly needs investigation and correction.
