-'tj 1 . Lanivireo solitarius plumbeus ( Cones ) . 



Flumi!e;()us Vikeo. 



Synonyms — J'irco f^liiiiihciis : I'ircosyh'ia phiuibca: J'irco solifarnis plum- 

 beus. 



Status — Common summer visitant of the Transition zone. Reported from 

 San Francisco Mountain, the IMog^ollon, Santa CataHna, Santa Rita, Huachuca. 

 and Hualpai mountains. Forts Whipple and Apache, and is undoubtedly to be 

 found in all the higher mountain ranges of the state. 



292. Vireo huttoni Stephens! Brewster. 



Stephens Vireo. 



Synonym — / 'irco liuttoni. 



Status — Found in the mountain ranges of southeastern Arizona, in the live 

 oak belt and along the canon streams, ranging upward to the lower edge of 

 Transition. Probably resident, but nowhere very abundant. Reported from the 

 Chiricahua. Santa Catalina. Santa Rita, and Huachuca mountains, and also, the 

 westernmost record, from the Ouijotoa Range (Scott. 1888, p. 32). 



293. Vireo belli arizonae Ridgway. 



Arizo.n'a Vikeo. 



Synonyms — J'irco bcllii; J'irco pusillus; J'irco belli pusillus. 



Status — Common summer visitant in .southern and western Arizona. P'ound 

 along the Colorado River at least as far north as Fort Mohave (Coo])er, 1861, 

 p. 122) and the Big Sandy ( Stephens. 1903, p. 104). In ea.stern Arizona it breeds 

 abundantl}- in the valleys of the Santa Cruz and San Pedro, as in all probability 

 it does along the Gila River also. The northernmost points to which it has been 

 traced in central Arizona are the Gila River, Graham County, in September ( Hen- 

 shaw, 1875b. p. 225). and a point fifty miles south of Fort Whipple, breeding 

 ( Coues, 1866a. p. 76). 



294. . Vireo vicinior Coues. 



(I'R.W VlREo. 



Status — A summer visitant, rei)orte(l thus far from a few scattered localities 

 in the northern and eastern parts of the state. Coues ( 1866a, p. 75) secured a 

 single specimen, the ty]:)e (^f the species, at Fort Whipple. Henshaw ( 1875b. p. 

 22"/) took migrating- birds at Camp Bowie in August, and at Camp Lowell in Sep- 

 tember, and Stephens ( 1878. ]■>. 93) found it on the Gila River, presumably about 

 at the Arizona-New Mexico boundary, and also near Tucson in April (Brewster. 

 1882. p. 142). Apparently the only i)ositive ])ublished breeding record for Ari- 

 zona is that of Scott ( 1885a. ji. 321 ). who reported the species as a common sum- ' 

 iner visitant on the eastern slope of the Santa Catalina Mountains, ranging from 

 2800 to zjooo feet. Merriam (1890. p. ,10) found 't at the Grand Cavion of the 

 Colorado in September, and Fisher ( 1903 p. 35) at Keam Canon in July and 

 August, and it mav be presumed to breed at both places.
