BIRDS OF THE PACIFIC DISTRICT. 59 



64. Ceryle cabanisi (Tschudi.) TEXAN KINGFISHER. 

 Baird, Brewer and Ridgway. Dr. Coues states that 



they have been observed at several points on the Colo- 

 rado River, between Fort Mojave and Fort Yuma the 

 only instances of their occurrence in the United States 

 other than on the Rio Grande. 



65. Dryobates villosus harrisii (Aud.) HARRIS' WOOD- 



PECKER. 



Volcan Mountains. W. 0. Emerson, March 24 one 

 male; the only individual seen. 



Volcan Mountains. F. E. Blaisdell. August 21; 

 November 28 rather common. 



San Bernardino. F. Stephens. Breeds in the pine 

 region of the mountains; rare winter visitant to the 

 foothills and valley. 



Henshaw, 1876. More or less common summer resi- 

 dent of the mountains. Specimens from Fort Tejon 

 and near Mount Whitney. 



Cooper, 1870. Resident as far south as Santa Bar- 

 bara. I found them more common in the higher coast 

 range near Santa Cruz. 



Contra Costa County. W. E. Bryant. One taken. 



Central California. L. B. Tolerably common sum- 

 mer resident of the fir forests, apparently driven down 

 from the higher Sierra in winter, though I saw one at 

 Dormer Lake, November 16, 1884, and a few at Big Trees, 

 January, 1879, when there was but little snow. It is 

 rarely met in the valleys in winter. Its burrows are 

 sometimes within three feet of the ground; eggs, usually 

 four, though I have found seven, one apparently un- 

 fruitful. 



Willamette Valley. 0. B. Johnson. Common resi- 

 dent; breeding extensively. 



Cooper, 1860. The most abundant species in the 

 Territory; a constant resident.
