Birds of Oregon and Washington 301 



the trees in which they live, one may not see them, though 

 on the line of his vision. (See Bowies' description in 

 Dawson & Bowies' "Birds of Washington.") As name 

 indicates, ear-tufts are long and striking; above, finely 

 mottled brownish -white and tawny; under parts, white- 

 yellowish, with dusky cross-bars; upper breast, heavily 

 streaked. Length, 13.00 to 16.00. 



THE SHUFELDT JUNCO. 



(See Oregon Junco, page 217.) 



Similar to the Oregon Junco. Grayish, or grayish- 

 brown, instead of reddish-brown. A little larger. Length, 

 6 to 6.50. 



CALAVERAS WARBLER. 



These birds are of " regal" beauty, and generally go to 

 the mountains to nest, but sometimes are found near 

 Tacoma, nesting in scrub-oak patches. (Bowles.) 



This is the Western form of the race of the Nashville 

 Warbler, but more brilliantly colored. Head and neck, 

 ashy-gray, with a concealed crown-patch of chestnut; 

 back, olive-green; below, including throat, entirely bright 

 yellow. A whitish eye-ring. 



HERMIT WARBLER. 



So common in May, in a woodland south of Tacoma, 

 that bird-lovers call it " Hermit Woods. " Among a num- 

 ber of Warblers, Mr. Dawson declares, "his note is the 

 sweetest, gladdest, most seraphic of them all." The bird 

 is also common in Stevens County, and no doubt elsewhere 

 in the two States.
