Hennixger — June Birds of Laramie 



225 



The town of La-ramie itself furnished quite a number of 

 species not found on the prairie or in ths mountains. The 

 first day I saw m}' only pair of Bullock's Orioles right in the 

 cotton-wood trees and after that although I searched for 

 them carefully I never saw them again. In town too was the 

 only place I saw the Broad-tailed Hummer in the gardens 

 among the flowers, the Hammond and the Alde-r Fl}catcher, 

 the Western Goldfinch, the Batchelder's Woodpecker and 

 others. 



May 30th found us on the road towards the Laramie 

 Mountains. This was the warmest day I experienced, the

thermometer showing 82 degrees in the shade and the natives 

 sweltered, while I of course thought it delightfully cool. At 

 first we had two miles of gophers and p-rairiedogs with one 

 Burrowing Owl, one Sparrow Hawk and innumerable 

 Mourning Doves till we got to the City Springs. Here we 

 ran on to a colony of Bank Swallows, a flock of Brewers 

 Blackbirds, a Kingbird and a fine specimen of the Arkansas 

 Kingbird. Just beyond the City Sp-rings the bare rock stuck 

 out and ran for about six miles in a kind of a barren plateau.
