52 Wyoming Birds. 



June 14, 1896. The skin is in the doctor's collection at 

 the present writing." (Knight.) 

 454. Myiarchus cinerascens cinerascens: Ash-throated Fly- 

 catcher. 

 "Very rare ; but may be found as a summer resident. 

 Coues, 'Birds of the Northwest,' p. 240, remarks : 'As in 

 the case of the preceding species, Mr. Akins again fur- 

 nishes a northernmost quotation, carrying the known range 

 into Wyoming.' I have been unable to find Akins' note on 

 the occurrence of M. crinitus in Wyoming, which this note 

 refers to. Bond has also taken a single specimen, which is 

 at the present time in the Cheyenne High School collec- 

 tion." (Knight.) The third edition of the A. O. U. check 

 list says : "Accidental in northern Wyoming and northern 

 Colorado." We do not know their authority for the state- 

 ment "northern Wyoming"; there are no recent records of 

 the bird in this state, so far as we have been able to ascer- 

 tain. 



456. Sayornis phoebe: Phoebe. 



"Very rare; probably a summer resident in eastern Wyo- 

 ming, as it is only known from the very eastern side of the 

 state. Cary reports a single specimen from Newcastle. I 

 have heard this bird calling in the vicinity of Sundance 

 and Fort Laramie, but have never "taken a specimen.' 

 (Knight.) 



457. Sayornis say us: Say's Phoebe. 



Fairly common summer resident throughout the entire 

 state at the lower altitudes. 



459. Nuttallornis borealis: Olive-sided Flycatcher. 



Metz and Walker are the only recent observers who record 

 this bird. Apparently it is rare over the entire state. 



462. Myiochanes richardsoni richardsoni: Western Wood Pewee. 

 Very abundant summer resident in the aspen groves of the 

 lower and middle altitudes. 



464. Empidonax d iff ici I is diffiicil is: Western Flycatcher. 



Probably occurs over the entire state. Blackwelder ob- 

 served them in the Tetons and Walker found them during 

 a migration at Green River. Dr. Jesurun was the only 

 early observer who found this bird. *
