BIRDS OF THE PACIFIC DISTRICT. 75 



82. Colaptes cafer saturatior Ridgw. NORTHWESTERN 



FLICKER. 



[I have been unable to find this form in the Upper 

 Sacramento Valley, but Mr. Charles H. Townsend col- 

 lected it at Red Bluff in winter and in the redwood 

 forests of Humboldt County, at the latter in winter 

 also, I believe.] 



83. Colaptes chrysoides (Malh.) GILDED FLICKER. 

 Cooper, 1870. I found only two pairs of this species 



at Fort Mojave after Feb. 20. 



Heermann. In considerable numbers on the Colo- 

 rado. 



84. Phalaenoptilus nuttalli calif ornicus Ridgw. CALI- 



FORNIA POOR-WILL. 



Agua Caliente, San Diego County. F. Stephens. 

 Present on my arrival (March 15, 1886.) Heard nightly; 

 rather common. 



Poway. F. E. Blaisdell. A summer resident; seems 

 to be confined to mountains, foothills and small canons, 

 not appearing in open valleys. 



Poway. W. O. Emerson. April 20, 1884. 



Henshaw, 1876. On the summits of the mountains 

 near Fort Tejon, remarkably numerous. 



Santa Cruz. Joseph Skirm. Very rare in this vicin- 

 ity. I have seen but five individuals since I came here. 

 Mr. A. M. Ingersoll found the eggs in 1883; they were 

 on the bare ground; color, pure white. 



Cooper, 1870. I have neither heard nor seen any 

 west of the Coast Range nor in the Santa Clara Valley 

 in spring. They are, however, common in the hot in- 

 terior valleys and remain near Sail Francisco as late as 

 November. Dr. Kennerly obtained one in the Colorado 

 Valley February 23, 1854.
