560a. Spizella passerina arizonae, Western Chipping Sparrow 



A great number of sparrows, apparently Spizellas, were seen from place to place 

 not close enough for certain identification. Many were doubtless of the above 

 species. The only ones positively identified as such were at Newcastle and Marvine 

 Lodge. 



562. Spizella breweri, Brewer's Sparrow 



Abundant throughout as far as Buford; none seen above there. 



5696. Junco phaeonotus caniceps, Gray-headed Junco 



None seen until we reached Buford, where about twenty were noted, August 25. 

 Seen also near Marvine Lodge, Himes' and Mud Springs. 



581ft. Melospiza melodia montana, Mountain Song Sparrow 



First seen at Rifle Gap, whence they were common until we passed 2 or 3 miles 

 beyond Himes' ; here the last were seen. 



588a. Pipilo maculatus montanus, Mountain Towhee 



Seen along Alkali Creek near Newcastle, at Rifle Gap and on Little Beaver 

 Creek. 

 592. 1. Oreospiza chlorura, Green-tahed Towhee 



First noted at Rifle Gap, thence seen in suitable localities all along our route up 

 to a point 2 or 3 miles above Himes', where the last one was noted. 

 596. Zamelodia melanocephala, Black-headed Grosbeak 



Two adults seen and one young taken at Rifle Gap. Therefore, a breeder in 

 that vicinity. 

 599. Passerina amoena, Lazuli Bunting 



Two at Newcastle, seven near Rifle Gap and two near Buford. 

 605. Calamospiza melanocorys, Lark Bunting 



Seen in only one narrowly restricted area, the same as that in which the Bobolinks 

 were found, about 7 miles north of east of Meeker. There were ten or a dozen birds, 

 some of which appeared to be young. 

 607. Piranga ludoviciana, Western Tanager 



Only one seen — at Rifle Gap. Mr. Ball has a mounted specimen killed at 

 Meeker. 



611. Progne subis, Purple Martin 



Two seen on the trip — a pair (male and female) in Lost Park, September 1. 



612. Petrochelidon lunifrons, Cliff Swallow 



Seen at Rifle Gap, Meeker, Axial, Little Beaver Creek and Buford, but not 

 beyond this point. In numbers they ranged from half a dozen to several score. 



613. Hirundo erythrogaster, Barn Swallow 



Found them common locally almost all the way to Buford; none seen above that 

 place.
