150 Warren, Bird Notes from Chaffee Co., Col. [^^^^ 



94. Melospiza lincolni. Lincoln's Sparrow. — Common in the migra- 

 tions, and may breed not very far from the town. 



95. Pipilo maculatus montanus. Mountain Towhee. — The summer 

 Towhees are no doubt tliis subspecies ; it is fairly common. In January, 

 1907, I saw Towhees among the cedars and pifions north of the town, but 

 did not collect any, so do not know if they were montanus or arcticus, 

 the latter being supposed to be the winter bird in Colorado, but as a 

 matter of fact both forms occur in Colorado in winter. 



96. Oreospiza chlorura. Green-tailed Towhee. — A summer resi- 

 dent, breeding at the foot of the mountains near Salida, but most common 

 during the migrations. 



97. Zamelodia melanocephala. Black-headed Grosbeak. — A com- 

 mon summer resident and breeder, arriving early in May. 



98. Calamospiza melanocorys. Lark Bunting. — A summer visitor, 

 not common. 



99. Piranga ludoviciana. Western Tanager.— Not very common, 

 arriving about the middle of May, and breeding at a somewhat higher 

 altitude than Salida. 



100. Hirundo erythrogaster. Barn Swallow. — A very common 

 summer resident and breeder, arriving about the middle of May. 



101. Iridoprocne bicolor. Tree Swallow. — A common summer 

 resident, coming lafe in April. 



102. Tachycineta thalassina lepida. Violet-green Swallow. — A 

 common summer resident, arri\'ing in middle of May. 



103. Bombycilla garrula. Bohemian Waxwing. — A winter visitant. 

 Frey took specimens Nov. 29, 1908. 



104. Lanius borealis. Northern Shrike. — A winter visitant, not 

 uncommon. Frey says that two or three foUowed the large flocks of Rosy 

 Finches about, and must have killed a good many. 



105. Lanius ludovicianus excubitorides. White-rumped Shrike. — 

 Arrives the very last of April or first of May, is rather common, but Frey 

 does not tliink they breed, as he says he has never seen them in summer. 



106. Vermivora celata. Orange-crowned Warbler. — Taken early 

 in May, 1908; should breed in the region, but Frey has no notes as to 

 this. 



107. Dendroica aestiva. Yellow Warbler. — A common summer 

 resident and breeder, arriving about the middle of May. 



108. Dendroica coronata. Myrtle Warbler. — Seen only in migra- 

 tion; in fact, Frey's notes are only for spring, when it arrived May 5 (1908), 

 and was found in company with the next species. 



109. Dendroica auduboni. Audubon's Warbler. — Common during 

 the migrations, but probably they all breed at liigher elevations. 



110. Oporornis tolmiei. MacGillivray's Warbler. — Frey has seen 

 only a few, in the spring. 



111. Geothlypis trichas occidentalis. Western Yellowthroat. — A 

 common summer resident and breeder, arriving the very last of April. 

 Frey says it is about the commonest warbler in the region .
