24 THE CONDOR Vol. X 



over Snake River; near Douglas Spring; at lyily; and on Elk Creek, above Newcastle. 



66. Oreospiza chlorura. Green-tailed Towhee. First seen May 11, near Grand 

 lyake. Observed practically everywhere between Sulphur Springs and Craig, and 

 then not noted again until we got to Douglas Spring. It was seen along the road 

 between I^ily and Meeker, and from there on at various points. 



67. Zamelodia melanocephala. Black-headed Grosbeak. Seen on Oak Creek; 

 at Steamboat Springs; Hayden; Lily and Allenton. 



68. Cyanospiza amoena. L,azuli Bunting. Seen at Meeker; near Glenwood 

 Springs, and twelve miles above the latter place. 



69. Calamospiza melanocorys. lyark Bunting. Observed at Yampa and above 

 Steamboat Springs; we were told of them near Craig, and our informant said they 

 were the first he had ever seen there, and he had lived there nine years; at Lay on June 

 15-16 they were still mating, at least each of us at different times saw two males 

 pursuing a female. They were seen at Sand Creek. After that no more were 

 seen until we neared Florissant, when we saw a mixed flock, males, females and 

 young. 



70. Piranga ludoviciana. Western Tanager. Seen near McCoy; at Steamboat 

 Springs; Douglas Springs; and below Minturn. 



71. Progne subis. Purple Martin. Several were seen flying about at Mud 

 Springs, on the White River Plateau, 8,850 feet, and also on the West Fork of Elk 

 Creek, about eight miles above Newcastle. Messrs. Cross and Baker told me that the 

 Martin was to be found about Glenwood Springs. The bird is very locally distribut- 

 ed in Colorado. 



72. Petrochelidon lunifrons. Cliff Swallow. No Cliff Swallows were seen until 

 we passed Craig, and thence we saw them here and there all along the road, often very 

 abundantly. A large colony was nesting under the lower bridge over Snake River. 



73. Hirundo erythrogaster. Barn Swallow. This species was seen at only a 

 few places, viz: eight miles below Hayden; at Day; and at Florissant. But it is no 

 doubt much more abundant thru the territory traversed than this would seem 

 to indicate. 



74. Tachycineta thalassina lepida. Violet-green Swallow. First of the season 

 seen at Grand Dake May 12. Thence more or less common everywhere we went. 



75. Lanius ludovicianus excubitorides. White-rumped Shrike. For some reason 

 we only saw this bird on two occasions, between Sulphur Springs and Grand Dake, 

 May 11; and at Kremmling, May 16. 



76. Dendroica aestiva. Yellow Warbler. First seen near Yampa, May 26. 

 Thence it was seen nearly everywhere we went, and was quite common. 



77. Dendroica auduboni. Audubon Warbler. Seen at comparatively few local- 

 ities, but that was because much of our route was at a lower elevation than the birds' 

 breeding range. It was seen at Sheephorn Pass; Yampa; Steamboat Springs and 

 a few miles below; and at Douglas Spring. 



78. Icteria virens longicauda. Dong-tailed Chat. There were numbers about 

 the thick willows on the south side of the Bear River at Dily, and they were also 

 seen at Allenton. 



79. Anthus pensilvanicus. American Pipit. Seen near Spitzer's about twelve 

 miles above Sulphur Springs, May 13. In spite of the fact that there were several 

 inches of new snow on the ground at the time, and still snowing, the birds were 

 taking a bath in a little stream which the road crossed. The species was also seen at 

 timber-line at Boreas Pass. 



80. Cinclus mexicanus. Water Ouzel. Seen at a number of places along the 

 streams at the higher elevations.
