above planing mill. At three places song heard and birds seen within 

 half a mile of Fork's along Big Thompson River July 15-18. 



68. Vermivora virginiae. Only one male, in song, at Gem Lake, 

 8000 feet, July 22. 



69. Dendroica aestiva eestiva. Three pairs in the village, where 

 was a nest with three apparently fresh eggs, June 24, in Stanley's meadow. 

 Song heard also in three places at Fork's, July 15-18. 



70. Dendroica auduboni auduboni. Three pairs on the hillsides in 

 the village; a few up Fall River valley to Horse Shoe Falls where was a 

 nest with nearly fledged young, June 28. More numerous in Mills Park, 

 where they visit porches and sides of cottages in search of flies. They are 

 no hiders and therefore among the birds oftenest seen in the Park. First 

 young out of nest in Mills Park July 9. 



71. Seiurus noveboracensis notabilis. Only one seen at Fork's, 

 July 16, on an island in Big Thompson River, half a mile east of Fork's 

 hotel, started from bank with alarm note. 



72. Oporornis tolmiei. Oftener heard than seen. Three in song 

 along Fall River and Big Thompson River in the village; several between 

 the village and Horse Shoe Falls; one in song near Long's Peak Inn; 

 none at Fork's. 



73. Geothlypis trichas occidentalis. One male in song June 30 

 in the village on the bank of the Big Thompson River at the foot of 

 Prospect Mountain. 



74. Wilsonia pusilla pileolata. Two males in Horse Shoe Park; 

 one in Mills Park. 



75. Cinclus mexicanus unicolor. Two nests, under bridges over 

 the Big Thompson River, east of the village. The nests were placed 

 directly under the floor, and the birds flew from under the bridges every 

 time a vehicle passed over them. At Fork's they were quite fearless and 

 could be watched under the water, both in the Big Thompson and North 

 Fork Rivers. 



76. Dumetella carolinensis. Three singing males in the shrubbery 

 along Fall River and Black Canon Creek, in the village. The song of one 

 near Elkhorn Lodge differed as much from that of the eastern as the song 

 of the Western Meadowlark differs from the Eastern. One at Fork's 

 July 16. 



77. Salpinctes obsoletus obsoletus. One had its station on the 

 edge of the cliff behind Hupp's Annex in the village and was singing there 

 even in the strongest breeze. Another was seen on the side of the Old 

 Man Mountain near Ryan's lodge. 



78. Troglodytes aedon parkmani. One of the common birds from 

 Fork's to Mills, not only about human habitations, but some distance 

 from them in the woods and among boulders. Its song is more pleasing 

 than that of its eastern half-brother, but is not given with the same liber- 

 ality and perseverance. 



79. Sitta carolinensis nelsoni. Two pairs in the village; one pair
