descend the Upper (^liiiiaull in llie winter to the Lake, I am told, and can 

 tlien 1)6 found on its beacli. 



Salpinctes obsoletus. Rock Wren. — Sutiimer resident? A few oli- 

 served on the Wishkah River and on the East Hiimptulips in June, 1S90 ; 

 no specimen sliot- Not seen in 1891 on the East Humptulips. I have 

 not been on the Wishkah since August, 1890. 



Troglodytes hiemalis pacificus. Western Winter Wren. — Resi- 

 dent. Common everywhere in the thick undergrowth and 'trash' of the 

 heavy timber. Sunshine and light this bird does not need to help it trill 

 its cheery song. 



Certhia familiaris occidentalis. Calieornian Creeper. — Resident? 

 ITncommon. I saw a few in January on the East Humptulips. 



Parus gambeli. Mountain Chickadee. — Resident? One seen at 

 Hoquiam, May 16, was the only one noted. 



Parus rufescens. Chestnut-backed Chickadee. — Resident. Nearly 

 as common in the timber and elsewhere as Troglodytes It. facificns. 



Regulus satrapa olivaceus. Western Golden-crowned Kinglet. — 

 Resident. Not nearly as common as P. rufuscois. A small flock seen 

 on the East Humptulips in January, and three birds near the W^est 

 Humptulips May 29; the latter seemed to be breeding. Heard at times. 

 Seen at Hoquiam in May. 



Regulus calendula. Ruby-crowned Kinglet. — Resident? Rare. 

 Shot two on Stevens Prairie April 22. One had not a vestige of the scar- 

 let crown patch. No others noted. 



Turdus ustulatus. Russet-backed Thrush. — Summer resident. 

 Very common throughout the river-bottoms, and common or. the small 

 prairies and in the timber. Musical and timid. It comes about the time 

 the salmon-berry bushes blossom; and goes when its berries are gone. 



Merula migratoria propinqua. Western Robin. — Resident. Less 

 common than Turdus ustulatus, but a common bird on the harbor, the 

 Humptulips. and Stevens Prairie. I saw some on Axford Prairie in Feb- 

 ruary in the midst of our wintriest weather. 



Hesperocichla naevia. Varied Thrush. — Resident. Not quite as 

 plentiful, I think, as T. m. propinqua. Most migrate, but a few stay 

 through the winter on the East Humptulips. One seen there February 7 

 during cold weather. 



Sialia mexicana. Western Bluebird. — Migrant? One seen May 15 

 at Hoquiam, perched on an electric-light wire. No others noted. 



Sialia arctica. Mountain Bluebird. — Migrant? Two were seen on 

 Stevens Prairie April 22; one was secured. No others noted.
