12 PACIFIC" COAST AVIFAUNA No. 10 



320. Setophaga picta Swainson. 



Painted Redstart. 



Status— A common summer visitant in the high mountains of southern and 

 central Arizona, in low Transition and high Upper Sonoran. Found as far north 

 as the Mogollon Mountains and the Tonto Basin (Mearns, 1890a, p. 261). Re- 

 ported from Camp Apache, Mount Graham, and the Chiricahua, Santa Rita, 

 IJuachuca, Santa Catalina, and Whetstone mountains. 



321. Cardellina riibrifrons (Giraud). 



Red-3?aced Warbler. 

 Status — Common summer visitant in the Transition zone of the mountains 

 of southeastern Arizona. The northernmost point to v/hich it has been traced is 

 the Mogollon Mountains (Mearns, i8qoa, p. 261), and it has also been found in 

 summer at Fort Apache, Mount Graham, the Santa CataHna, Santa Rita, and 

 Huachuca mountains. There are other high ranges from which there are no re- 

 ports, where it undoubtedly occurs. 



322. Anthus rubescens (Tunstall). 



American Pipit. 



Synonyms — Anthus ludovicianus; Anthus pensilvanictis. 



Status — A common winter visitant in the lowlands of southern and western 

 Arizona, reported from various scattered localities- — Fort Whipple, Yuma, Tuc- 

 son, etc. No winter records from points north of the Mogollon Divide. Possibly 

 breeds on San Francisco Mountain, where it w^as found at timber line in the late 

 summer (Merriam, 1890, p. 99). 



323. Cinclus mexicanus unicolor Bonaparte. 



American Dipper. 



Synonyms — Hydrobata nic.vicana; Cinclus mexicanus. 



Status — There are but three definite published statements in regard to the oc- 

 currence of the dipper in Arizona. Although Coues (1866a, p. 66) included the 

 species in his list of birds of Fort Whipple, he did not himself meet with it. Hen- 

 shaw (1875b, p. 159) found it fairly common in summer on some of the streams 

 of the White Mountains; Brewster (1882, p. 76) records a specimen secured in 

 the Chiricahua Mountains, March 20 ; and one was seen in the Huachuca Moun- 

 tains, August 4. 1902 (Swarth, 1904b, p. 59). 



324. Oreoscoptes montanus (Townsend). 



Sage Thrasher. 



Synonym — Mimtis montanus. 



Status — An abundant winter visitant of the plains and valleys of southern 

 Arizona, reported from many localities between Yuma and the eastern boundary ; 

 also along the lower Colorado River. I know^ of no winter records from points 

 north of the Mogollon Divide. There are no published instances of its breeding 

 in Arizona, though it may be found doing so in the northeastern portion — from 

 the Little Colorado River northward — where Merriam (1890, p. 100) observed it 

 in small numbers in the late summer of 1889.
