636 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CANADA. 
656. Audubon Warbler. 
Dendroica audubont audubont (TOWNS.) SCLATER. 1858. 
This warbler was only observed in the Rocky mountains beyond 
the eastern foothills of which it is not known to extend. (Coues.) 
Mr. Eastgate shot a female in a grove of pines in the Cypress hills, 
Sask., in 1906. (A.C. Bent.) Observed a pair near Calgary, June 
22nd, 1897, in the foothills from there to Crow Nest pass in July and 
August; observed a few in the valley of the McLennan, B.C. in July, 
1898; common at Banff, Rocky mountains, in the summer of 1891, 
building their nests in tall spruce trees; quite plentiful at Revel- 
stoke, B.C., on the Columbia river, and down that stream to Deer 
park and Robson in June, 1890; young full grown by June 24th; 
arrived at Revelstoke on April 12th, 1890; common and breeding 
at Trail, on the International Boundary, in June, 1902; first seen 
April 13th, 1903, at Penticton, B-C:, after this date they became 
common; rather rare at Spence Bridge, B.C., in May, 1889, but 
common at Hastings and Agassiz, in the Fraser valley; common 
nearly everywhere along the International Boundary from Fernie 
west to Douglas, B.C., in 1902-6; common around Victoria early in 
May, 1893, but the bulk of them had left by the roth, only a few 
remained to breed; during the latter part of April and first half of 
May this bird is common in most parts of Vancouver island, but 
later they are very scarce. (Spreadborough.) British Columbia. 
(Lord.) Abundant spring and fall migrant. I think a few breed in 
the coast region; it is very common on Vancouver island. (Streat- 
or.) Very abundant summer resident all over the province. (Fan- 
nin.) A common summer resident at Chilliwack; a few remain 
until January. Tolerably common breeder at 150-Mile House, B.C. 
(Brooks.) Abundant summer resident everywhere in British 
Columbia. (Rhoads.) Found nesting at Donald, Agassiz and 
Vancouver, B.C. in 1894. (E. F. G. White.) 
BREEDING Notes.—At Banff, in the Rocky mountains, on June 
14th, 1893, I found a nest containing four eggs of this species. It 
was built in a willow about five feet above the water on the shore 
of Vermilion lake. Mr. Dippie found its nest at Devil lake, fourteen 
miles from Banff, June 22nd, 1902. (W. Ravzne.)
