1914 BIRDS OF ARIZONA 19 



62. Gallinago delicata (Orel). 



Wilson Snipk. 



Synonyms — Scolopax zvilsoiiii; Gallinago I'^'ilsonii. 



Status — A migrant occurring throughout the state. Was found on Bill 

 Williams Fork in February (Kennerly, 1859, p. 34), and is of occasional occur- 

 rence in winter in southern Arizona. 



63. Macrorhamphus griseus scolopaceus (Say). 



Long-bille;d Dowitchek. 



Synonym — Macrorhamphus griseus. 



Status — There is but little information at hand pertaining to the occurrence 

 of this species in Arizona. Coues (1866a, p. 97) speaks of it as being "sparing- 

 ly distributed throughout the Territory", without citing any specific instances of 

 its capture, llenshaw (1875b, p. 453) lists a specimen from Mimbres, Arizona, 

 October 22, and comments that the species is "apparently an uncommon visitor in 

 Arizona." A specimen entered in the British Museum Catalogue of Birds 

 (Sharpe, 1896, p. 399) : " 2 ad., Arizona, Oct. 22. C. G. Newberry", is probably 

 the same one alluded to by Henshaw. 



These are all referred to as Macrorhamphus griseus, but it seems more prob- 

 able that the form occurring in Arizona is M. g. scolapaceus. I have seen no 

 specimens from the region. 



54. Pisobia bairdi (Coues). 



Baird SandpipKr. 



Synonyms— Tnwo-a schiii::ii; Actodromas bairdi; Triuga bairdi. 



Status— Henshaw (1875b, p. 455) fo""f' ^^ quite numerous in the fall in 

 southeastern Arizona, taking specimens at Camp Apache. August 26-29, and at 

 Camp Crittenden, September 2. Merriam (1890, p. 88) met with it at Walker 

 Lake. San Francisco ^Mountain. August 27 and September i. Not reported from 

 the Colorado River.- 



f^c Pisobia minutilla (Yieillot). 



Least Sandpiper. 



Synonyi^^s— I etodromas minnfilla; Triuga minutilla: Limonitcs minutilla. 



Status— A common migrant throughout the state. It is probably a wmter 

 visitant in parts of southern Arizona and along the lower Colorado River, but the 

 only definite record of a winter bird is of a specimen meniioned by Co'>ke ( 1910. 

 p. 41), as in the United States National Museum, collected in winter in soutliern 

 Arizona, no definite date or locality being given.
