282 NORTH AMERICAN RIHD.^. 



Viiiicouvcr. It was vciy cominoii tlirouoliout tlio momilniiis, and lie Ibuiid it 

 m every p.irtion of tlie co.ntiy west of them, even where seurcely a busli 

 was to be se(;n. 



According to tlie careful oliservations of IVfr. T^olx^rt I{idi,nvay, this War- 

 bler, during the summer montlis, in the (Jreat IJasin, chietlv inhabits the 

 pines of tiu3 high mountain ranges, as well as the cedar and j.^inon woods of 

 the desert mountains. In winter it descends to the lower portions bein- 

 then found among the wiUows, or, in small roving comi-anies, hoppin-- amon-- 

 the tree-tops in the river valleys. In manners it is said by him to i^semble 

 the armwta, but in their notes they differ very widely. A nest, containing 

 throe young, was found by Mr. Itidgway near the extremity of a liorizontal 

 branch of a lune-trce, about ten feet from the ground. 



The eggs of the Audubon Warljler do not ivsemble'tho.se of any Drvdroica 

 with which I am ac.]uainted, but are most like those of the Hooded AVar- 

 bler. They measure .70 by .r.O of an inch, have a reddish or pinki.sh white 

 ground, and are sparingly marked ^itli fine brown markings, tinted with a 

 cnm.son shading.
