167. Vireo solitarius cassinii. Cassin's Vireo. — An irregular sum- 

 mer resident, sometimes quite common. Breeds. 



168. Vireo huttoni obscurus. Anthony's Vireo. — A regular but 

 rare summer resident. The only nest I have heard of was found by my 

 brother, Mr. C. W. Bowles, on June 21, 1897. It contained two eggs, 

 slightly incubated, and was collected with the female parent. 



169. Helminthophilarubricapilla gutturalis. Calaveras Warbler. 

 — Not an uncommon summer resident. Nests only on the oak dotted 

 prairies.

 Common summer resident. The first migratory warbler in spring, arriv- 

 ing early in April. Nests on bushy hillsides and in the valley. 



171. Dendroica aestiva. Yellow Warbler. — Abundant summer 

 resident. Nests anywhere it can find water. 



172. Dendroica coronata. Myrtle Warbler. — An irregular fall 

 migrant, very numerous some years, the fall of 1905 for example. Have 

 never seen it in spring. 



173. Dendroica auduboni. Audubon's Warbler. — Rather com- 

 mon summer resident, a few wintering. Nests only in firs, never at a lower 

 altitude than 300 feet.

 A summer resident, some years abundant. Seldom occurs at a lower alti- 

 tude than 300 feet. Nests in the tall firs. 



175. Dendroica townsendi. Townsend's Warbler. — A rare sum- 

 mer resident of the higher altitudes. 



176. Dendroica occidentalis. Hermit Warbler. — Not uncommon 

 in summer, but very locally distributed. Seen only above 300 feet altitude 

 where it stays mostly in the tallest firs. Took a set of five slightly incu- 

 bated eggs on June 11, 1905.
