° 1910 J Rathbun, Birds of Cirscent Lake, Wash. 365 



32. PhlcEotomus pileatus pileatus. Pileated Woodpecker. — 

 Although not very common, was quite often seen or heard in the forest 

 on the mountain side. 



33. Asyndesmus lewisi. Lewis's Woodpecker. — On May 2, 1916, 

 one was seen in tall timber near the lake, and on the following day, four at a 

 point about ten miles east of the lake's lower end. 



34. Colaptes cafer saturatior. Northwestern Flicker. — Not 

 very common in April, May and June, but during October was seen fre- 

 quently and was more generally distributed. 



35. Chsetura vauxi. Vaux's Swift. — Seven of these swifts were 

 seen on June 29, circling about above the high timber in the vicinity of the 

 lake, and the species was also noted in the valley of the Soleduck River, 

 six miles west of the head of the lake. 



36. Selasphorus rufus. Rufous Hummingbird. — Was common 

 throughout the region during May and June, but particularly so near lake 

 level. On several occasions during the latter part of May, individual 

 birds were seen carrying nesting material. 



37. Nuttallomis borealis. Olive-sided Flycatcher. — Along the 

 entire length of the lake in May and June, the characteristic note of this 

 species was heard from the mountain side, but apparently each pair of the 

 birds had a more or less defined territory of its own. They could readily 

 be located as they almost invariably perched on or near the top of some 

 lofty evergreen tree, rarely descending even during the frequent rainy 

 spells. 



38. Myiochanes richardsoni richardsoni. Western Wood Pewee. 

 — Noted in May, June and July and not very common. A species of 

 irregular distribution in the region, being oftener found about the lower 

 part of the lake, particularly in the vicinity of the Lyre River. We have 

 three records only for the upper lake section. 



39. Empidonax difficilis difflcilis. Western Flycatcher.^ Al- 

 though not common was quite well distributed, being restricted to no 

 particular locality. Noted in May, June and July. 



40. Empidonax trailli trailli. Traill's Flycatcher. — Of uncom- 

 mon occurrence and only seen or heard in the alder and willow thickets, 

 along or near the shore of the lake. 



41. Empidonax hammondi. Hammond's Flycatcher. — Rather 

 common. Although at times found on the mountain side, it was more 

 often heard or seen in the timber fairly adjacent to the lake. A shy retir- 

 ing species and not easy to secure. 



42. Empidonax wrighti. Wright's Flycatcher. — Wright's was 

 the only Flycatcher that we found in the mountains at any considerable 

 elevation, and on a few occasions in May and June it was also noted in the 

 region near lake level. 



43. Cyanocitta stelleri stelleri. Steller's Jay. — Only two of 

 these birds were heard or seen in the region from April to July, but in 

 October it was observed mote frequently.
