[ 606 ] BIRDSOFOREGON 



Eastern Ruby-crowned Kinglet: 



Corthylio calendula calendula (Linnaeus) 



BISHOP (192.6) listed this bird from the State on the basis of a few rather 

 poorly defined specimens. In our extensive series we have no birds that 

 are not either the Western Ruby-crowned Kinglet or the Sitka Kinglet. 



Magnolia Warbler: 



Dendroica magnolia (Wilson) 



FINLEY (i^oyd) stated that William Warner reported one bird from Salem, 

 Oregon, in January 1907. Inquiry of Mr. Finley brought no recollection 

 to him of this particularly uncertain record, and in view of the date and 

 lack of substantiating records, we unhesitatingly place this in the hypo- 

 thetical list. 



Bicolored Red-wing: 



Agelaius phoeniceus californicus Nelson 



THE BICOLORED RED-WING has been reported frequently from Oregon, 

 beginning with Bendire (Brewer 1875), who stated that it was found 

 breeding in Camp Harney. Following his records, Mearns (1879) stated 

 that it was abundant at Fort Klamath. Johnson (1880) and Anthony 

 (1886) listed it as an abundant summer resident of the Willamette Valley, 

 but the supposed specimens of the Bicolored Red-wing in the Johnson col- 

 lection in the museum at the University of Washington have been exam- 

 ined and prove to be A. p. caurinus. We have not been able, in spite of 

 diligent collecting, to find this species in this State. We occasionally get 

 a bird with little or none of the buffy edging to the wing coverts but 

 that otherwise has the characteristics of either the Northwestern Red- 

 wing or the Nevada Red-wing, and we therefore believe the above records 

 to be cases of mistaken identity. The two subspecies of red-wing just 

 mentioned are abundant breeders throughout the State and, with the 

 exception of a small colony of Tricolored Red-wings in Klamath County, 

 are the only members of this genus now breeding in Oregon. 



Kodiak Pine Grosbeak: 



Pinicola enucleator ftammula Homeyer 



THIS BIRD has been credited to Oregon on the basis of one skin taken by 

 Alex Walker near Ironside, Malheur County, on December 17, 1919. 

 We have not seen this particular bird, but others taken by Walker at the 

 same time and from the same flocks prove to be P. e. alascensis. We are 

 therefore placing this form in the hypothetical list, as we know of no 

 specimens from anywhere south of the Olympic Peninsula.
