1 16 G( neral Notes. [jan. 



Additional Notes to the 'Birds of Gallatin County, Montana'. — 



These notes form an appendix to my paper published in ' The Auk,' Janu- 

 ary, 1911, pp. 26 49. The numbers are those of my list. 



37. Gallinago delicata. Wilson's Snipe. — This species appears to 

 be fairly common ami regular as a winter resilient in warm swamps near 

 Bozeman. 1 observed seven birds on December 26, 1911. 



43. Catoptrophorus semipalmatus inornatus. Western Willet. 

 — Mr. W. L. Thomas of Belgrade found two nests of this species during 

 the summer of 1911. 



120. Hesperiphona vespertina montana. Western Evening 

 Grosbeak. — I observed a small flock in Bozeman on January 2, 1911. 

 The species is evidently occasionally a winter resident, though much 

 commoner as a migrant . 



126. Leucosticte tephrocotis littoralis. Hepburn's Rosy Finch. — 

 I observed this subspecies in company with L. t. tephrocotis in Bridger 

 Canon. March 17, 1911. barge flocks were seen and about 10 percent. 

 of the birds were of this form. 



170. Vermivora celata lutescens. Lutescent Warbler. — I ob- 

 served a male of this species in song, in an aspen grove near Bozeman, 

 July 1, 1910. It probably breeds in the region and the breeding bird is 

 probably V. c. celata, but it was neither secured nor observed closely. 



199 Cyanocephalus cyanocephalus. Pi5Jon Jay. — A flock of 

 about 40 birds was observed flying over the western part of Bozeman on 

 Sept. 11, 1911. This adds a new species to the county list, and to my 

 knowledge, is the most westerly record for this species in Montana. — 

 V.RB i' \s A. S uxpkus. 



Two new records for Washington State. — The following birds appear 



to he new to i he State list. 



Ceryle alcyon caurina. Northwestern Belted Kingfisher. — A 

 specimen taken September 17, 1896, was recently identified for me by 

 Mr. Oberholser as this new form. It was collected by meon Puget Sound, 

 in the vicinity oi Taeoma. Wash., which I believe extends their range this 

 much southward. As I have no other Bpecimens, some further collecting 

 must he done in order to prove this to be the resident form. 



Zonotrichia albicollis. White-throated Sparrow. At Sherlock, 

 in Thurston County, on October 13, 1912, 1 was so fortunate as to collect 

 a female of this Sparrow. My bird was with a very large company of Nut- 

 t all's Sparrows {Zonotrichia leucophrys nuitalli), which had begun to arrive 

 the previous evening, but a careful search failed to reveal any more albi- 

 collis. An interesting feature of this migration, possibly of some signifi- 

 cance, is thai the local breeding nuttalli had long since left for the south, 

 and the migration in question was a considerable surprise to me. 1 believe 

 my bird forms a new record for the state, if not for the Pacific coast north 

 of Oregon.- -J. Boopee Bowles, Taeoma, Wash.
