BIRDS OP THE PACIFIC DISTRICT. 97 



Julian. N. S. Goss.— April 21, 1884, first. 



Henshaw, 1876. In southern California appears not 

 to be as numerous as in the middle region, pretty closely 

 confined to the mountains. 



Cooper, 1870. Dr. Gambel found young at Monterey 

 in July; rather common in the Coast Range toward 

 Santa Cruz where they had nests in May. 



L. B. — Common in the fir forest of the Sierra of Cen- 

 tral California on both slopes, in Calaveras and Butle 

 counties on the west, Alpine and Sierra on the east; ar- 

 riving rather late in spring and starting south from the 

 first to the middle of September. Its nests are usually 

 forty or fifty feet from the ground, rarely as low as twen- 

 ty, in cone bearing trees, and are mostly composed of 

 yellow lichen (Evernia vulpina) lined sparingly, in 

 several instances, with fine, wiry rootlets. 



Beaverton. A. W. Anthony. — Common summer resi- 

 dent. May 11, first; bulk arrived May 22, 1884. 



Willamette Valley. 0. B. Johnson. Common in 

 summer. 



Cooper, 1860. Very common arriving early in May; 

 remains until late in September. 



British Columbia. John Fannin. — Eare summer 

 resident. 



Henshaw, 1879. Occurs in summer all along the 

 eastern slope up to the Columbia River, and probably 

 still farther north. It does not appear to be as numer- 

 ous here as in the Rocky Mountains, or even in the 

 region west of the Sierra. 



Camp Harney. Bendire. — A very rare summer visitor. 



East Humboldt Mountains. Ridgway.— The first in- 

 dividual. 



Hoffman. A common summer resident confined to 

 the more elevated coniferous regions, at least as far 

 south as Belmont.
