366 Rathbun, Birds of Crescent Lake, Wash. [oct 



44. Perisoreus obscurus obscurus. Oregon Jay. — During April 

 it was common in the vicinity of the lake, at this time being associated in 

 small flocks that were feeding on a winged insect very abundant near the 

 water's edge. But after early May the species was seldom seen, evidently 

 having retired to the more elevated sections as from this date we rarely 

 noted it below an altitude of 1000 feet. A breeding female was taken 

 June 22 at an elevation of about 800 feet. Was quite common about the 

 lake in October. 



45. Corvus corax principalis. Northern Raven. — Two were 

 seen in Octoljer in some tall dead timber on the mountain side above the 

 lake. Also noted in the valley of the Soleduck River. 



46. Corvus caurinus. Northwestern Crow. — Apparently of ir- 

 regular occurrence in the region. Our records are, May 26, 1915, a single 

 bird feeding along the lake shore near the source of the LjTe River; April 23 

 and 27, 1916, a total of three seen about the upper part of the lake. 



47. Agelaius phoeniceus caurinus. Northwestern Red-wing. — 

 Near the outlet of the lake is a very small marsh restricted to a bit of the 

 shore, and here is located a little colony of this species during the spring 

 and summer months. 



48. Loxia curvirostra minor. Crossbill. — At various times during 

 October, small flocks of Crossbills were seen in the timber along the lake 

 and on the mountain side. 



49. Astragalinus tristis salicamans. Willow Goldfinch. — Not 

 common. Noted only in May and June, when a few were heard and seen 

 on different occasions. 



50. Spinus pinus. Pine Siskin. — In the more open section about 

 the lake's lower end, the Pine Siskin was quite common in May, although 

 only occasionall}^ seen around the upper portion of the lake. Was rarely 

 noted in October. 



51. Passerculus sandwichensis sandwichensis. Aleutian Savan- 

 nah Sparrow. — In October was found about the lake feeding along 

 the rocky shores, but was not at all common, seldom more than a single 

 bird being seen at a time. 



52. Zonotrichia leucophrys nuttalli. Nuttall's Sparrow. — Un- 

 common throughout the region and of local distribution during May and 

 June, a few being found in the section near the Lyre River and two along 

 the upper lake. Not noted in October. 



53. Zonotrichia coronata. Golden-crowned Sparrow. — Not un- 

 common in April, the first arrival being noted the 22d and by the 30th 

 all had departed. In October somewhat more common, being found 

 about the borders of the brushy clearings along the lake, and on these 

 occasions the individuals were associated in small flocks. 



54. Junco hyemalis connectens. Shufeldt's Junco.— Common 

 throughout the region although somewhat localized in its distribution, 

 being partial to the vicinity of the more open spaces and was often observed 

 along the lake shore about the edge of the timber. All the Juncos collected
