Common in Cottonwood groves near Provo River, 1872, in July and 



November ; not seen elsewhere. In Colorado, this appears to be a not very 



common species ; at all events, it is much less abundant than the Mountain 



Chickadee. Found indifferently in the heavy pine woods and among the 



cottonwoods of the streams. Could detect no differences in habits and notes 



from the eastern Chickadee (atricwpillus), from which it chiefly differs in its 



longer tail and lighter colors.

 Mr. Aiken is, I believe, the only one who has found this species 



in Eastern Colorado, where he reports it as a winter resident. In Utah,
