434 ORNITHOLOGY. 



except in the soutliern i)ortion of its lialjitiit, Audiilxm's Warbler, the 

 western representative of that species, is the only one of the family which 

 remains during the Avinter. Its migrations seem to be mainly, if not 

 entirely, vertical, its summer-home being the j)ine forests of the mountains, 

 while in winter it dwells among the cotton-woods of the riv* r-vjiUcys, or 

 the brushwood of the lower cafions. In its luiliits ami uihihk is it is an exact 

 counterpart of -D. coronata, which it also resenil>le.s so strikingly in plumage; 

 but its notes are markedly different, the usual one being a feeble »r/7, very 

 unlike the sliai-p cltip of the eastern species.

In all bushy places contiguous to water, this little bird was invariably 



to be found ; but it was confined to the valleys, being replaced among the 



mountains, even in the lower canons, l)y the G. macgiUivrayi. Clumi)s of 



wild-rose briers and the banks of the sloughs seemed to be its favorite 



resorts, and in such localities near Pvramid I^ake it was one of the most 



abundani; species in Ma}', and all day long enlivened the vicinity of one of 



our camps by its pleasant song of ivitch'ifi/, tvitch'itif, tvitch'ity — often from 



several rival males at the same time.
