middle ; " tail-coverts, upper and lower, usually distinctly 

 barred with blackish." 

 Length, 5 inches. 



Summer resident. 



THE ROCK WREN. 



Length, 6 inches. 



This Wren is not uncommon in some parts of 

 our territory in mountainous and sage-brush 

 regions, but is not often seen, perhaps, in the 

 most populous districts. In central-northern 

 and eastern Washington and in southern-central 

 and southeastern Oregon, ornithologists report 

 numerous observations of the bird, and it is 

 mentioned also as occasionally occurring on the 

 coast. 



PARTICULAR DESCRIPTION. Like other Wrens in 

 form and sprightly habit, differing mainly in being much 

 lighter in shade, having above finely sprinkled dots of 

 white and black, and a cinnamon-colored rump ; a line 

 of buff or white over the eye ; lower parts, white, chang- 

 ing to light cinnamon in the abdomen. 



Summer resident. 



THE PACIFIC YELLOW-THROAT. 



GENERAL DESCRIPTION : 



Upper parts : olive-brown and olive-green.
