Common in cottonwood groves near Provo River, 1872, in Jiily and 



November ; not seen elsewhere. In Colorado, this appears to be a not very 



common species ; at all events, it is much less abundant than the Jloixntain 



Chickadee. Found indiflPerently in the heavy pine woods and among the 



cottonwoods of the streams. Could detect no differences in habits and notes 



from the eastern Chickadee {atilcapillus), from which it chiefly dift'ers in its 



longer tail and lighter colors.

Mr. Aiken is, I believe, tlie only one who has found this species 



in Eastern Colorado, where he reports it as a winter resident. In Utah,
