6o Wyoming Birds. 



524. Leucosticte tephrocotis tephrocotis: Gray-crowned Rosy- 



Finch. 

 Knight gave no records of the occurrence of this bird in 

 the state during the summer. He merely said that it was 

 a winter resident, with the idea in mind that it was 

 probably a summer resident at the high altitudes. Records 

 for it as a summer resident are now quite numerous. It 

 is not found in summer in the Medicine Bow Mountains 

 as was expected, but Blackwelder reports it from both the 

 Big Horn and Teton Mlountains during the summer. War- 

 ren also saw Rosy Finches. They winter quite commonly 

 in the mountains and out on the plains. On March 16, 

 1912, Walker found flocks near Laramie, and in November 

 and December at 9,000 feet, when the snow was 18 inches 

 deep, he found them in the Medicine Bow Mountains. 



524a. Leucosticte tephrocotis littoralis: Hepburn's Rosy Finch. 

 Lockwood and Peabody are the only observers of recent 

 years who report it. Knight said it was a winter resident 

 and was only known in the southeastern part of the state. 



525. Leucosticte atrata: Black Rosy Finch. 



Richard says this form is a common winter resident about 

 Cody, with tephrocotis. The A. O. U. list says, "winters 

 south to southeastern Wyoming." Ridgeway, in Vol. I, 

 "Birds of North and Middle America," pp. 75 and 76, says 

 it breeds on Uinta Mountains, Wyoming. Chapman, in 

 "Color Key to North American Birds,'' p. 179, says, "Breeds 

 in Idaho and Wyoming." Knight said that none of them 

 had been reported in recent years. 



528. Acanthis linaria linaria: Redpoll. 



Fairly common winter resident, as reported by many of 

 the collectors, but it has not occurred about Laramie during 

 the winters of 1911, 1912, and 1913, as they formerly did. 



529. Astragalinus tristis tristis: Goldfinch. 



Messrs. . Jewett and Peabody both report this species, but 

 Jewett probably confuses it with the Pale Goldfinch, 529a. 

 Peabody is no doubt correct, since he collected in a region 

 where it is likely to occur and he has had his identification 

 verified by an expert.
