FURTHER NOTES ON BIRDS OF THE GRAY'S 

 HARBOR REGION, WASHINGTON. 



BY R. H. LAWRENCE. 



On April 29, 1892, wishing further to study the birds of the 

 Gray's Harbor region, I went by rail to South Aberdeen, taking 

 a steamer that evening to Ocosta, the remaining miles of track not 

 being quite ready for traffic. Most of my time was spent in the 

 partly cleared land back of town and on the marshes about it. I 

 left Ocosta May 5, going to Hoquiam, and next day left the 

 Harbor. The great body of Ducks had migrated six or seven 

 weeks before ; but I saw a few flights of Geese, — some winter in 

 the harbor. A few Gulls were seen at a distance. April 30 I 

 noted forty-three kinds of birds, most of them being land birds. 

 Trochilus rufus was very common ; I counted over forty that 

 day ; it far outnumbers the other Hummers. On May 5 I was 

 quite sure I heard E))ipidonax dijfficilis in a tree near the Ocosta 

 pier.
