Sace THRASHER. 
Rare, and so far as known, confined-to northwestern Nebraska. 
Baird’s ‘‘ Nebraska” records are now extralimital, referring to Ft. 
Laramie and the Black hills. A. K. Fisher saw a single bird at a dis- 
tance of six feet at Alliance, Box Butte county, July 12, 1893, and 
it has been found nesting within a half mile of the Nebraska line in 
Wyoming, May 20, 1900, by Cary and Carriker. Residents of the Hat 
Creek valley report it as occasional in that region. 

703. *Mimus polyglottos (Linnaeus)—-MockINapBirp, and 
703a. *Mimus polyglottos leucopterus (Vigors)—WerstTERN MOCKINGBIRD. 
This bird is found throughout the entire state; south of the Platte 
a common summer resident and breeder; rare north of middle of 
state. Arrives in the middle of April, breeds in June, departs 
about the middle of October. Rulo, Nebraska City, Weeping Water, 
Lincoln, Beatrice, Franklin, Kearney, North Platte, McCook, Strat- 
ton, Haigler, Sidney—breeding; even north to Sioux county, though 
not common—breeding. Specimens from the last locality much paler 
in color and with more extended white markings than eastern birds 
have been identified by Witmer Stone as lewcopterus, and there is 
no doubt the Sidney record refers to the same form. In regard to the 
records from other localities westward, however, it is impossible, in 
the absence of specimens, to make a definite statement; nor is it pos- 
sible to limit the range of the two in the state. 
704. *Galeoscoptes carolinensis (Linnaeus)—CarTBIRD. 
Whole of state; abundant: eastward, common westward, arriving 
the first week in May, breeding in June, departing late in September. 
705. *Toxostoma rufum (Linnaeus)—BrowNn THRASHER. 
Over the entire state; abundant except in the more western por- 
tions, breeding throughout. Arrives late in April, breeds late in May, 
and in June, departs late in September.
