SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION TO NORTHWESTERN COLORADO 137 



378. Speotyto cunicularia hypogaea, Burrowing Owl 



Both Mr. Ball and Mr. W. A. Kyser state that they have seen these owls in the 

 Meeker district. Strange enough, in all the prairie-dog towns that we passed, not a 

 burrowing owl could be found, though I watched carefully for them. 



379. Glaucidium gnoma, Pygmy Owl 



But one noted — on Good Spring Creek near Axial. 



385. Geococcyx calif ornianus, Ro ad-runner 



Has been seen on Montgomery's Ranch, about 3 miles below Meeker [Ball]. 

 390. Ceryle alcyon, Belted Kingfisher 



One noted at each of the following places: Meeker, Buford, Marvine Lodge and 

 Himes'. 

 393e. Dryobates villosus monticola, Rocky Mountain Hairy Woodpecker 



Two birds, apparently of this species, noted, one at Buford, the other at Marvine 

 Lodge. 

 402a. Sphyrapicus varius nuchalis, Red-naped Sapsucker 



A bird that I took to be of this species was seen near Meeker and another near 

 Marvine Lake. 



404. Sphyrapicus thyroideus, Williamson's Sapsucker 



A bird which appeared to be of this species seen near Himes'. 

 408. Asyndesmus lewisi, Lewis' Woodpecker 



One taken at Meeker and another at Buford; none seen elsewhere. 

 413. Colaptes cafer collaris, Red-shafted Flicker 



Common along our whole route. 

 418. Phalaenoptilus nuttalli, PoORWELL 



One seen near Little Beaver Creek. White River valley [Ball]. 



420a. Chordeiles virginianus henryi, Western Night-hawk 



Common on almost the entire trip as far up as Marvine Lodge, where it was last 

 seen. 



425. Aeronautes melanoleucus, White -throated Swot 



A colony of about twenty-five seen near Axial on a cliff overlooking Good Spring 

 Creek. Another cliff, which appeared to be a colony site, where a single Swift was 

 seen, was found along White River about 10 miles above Meeker. 



432. Selasphorus platycercus, Broad-tailed Hummingbird 



From one to five noted here and there all along our route as far up as Himes'. 



447. Tyrannus verticalis, Arkansas Flycatcher 



Common all along our route as far up as Buford, but none seen above that point. 

 Specimens were taken here and there, and careful search was made with an excellent 

 pair of field binoculars for T. vocijerans, but none of this species were found.
