A few individuals were met with at Beaver, Utah, about the first of 

 November, and the species was found common at Provo in December. 



In Arizona and New Mexico, the Tree Sparrow was not found by our 

 parties. It was, however, seen on the Colorado Chiquito, New Mexico, by 

 Dr. Kennerly, in December, and doubtless extends its winter range into 

 portions of both those Territories. Captain Bendire writes me that it occurs 

 about Tucson as a winter visitant. It was numerous in El Paso County, 

 Colorado, in December, where, according to Mr. Aiken, it is an abundant 

 winter resident. It passes to the far north to breed.
