719. Bewick's Wren. 



Thryomanes bewickii {Avu.) Ridgw. 1877. 

 One specimen only recorded, taken by myself on December 

 13th, 1898, in a swampy area full of brush and fallen trees, with a 

 few shrubs near Appin, Ont. There was scarcely a foot of light 

 snow on the ground, and the day was clear but not very cold. 

 The bird was feeding and working along through upturned roots 

 and piles of brush. {W. E. Saunders.)

Thryomanes bewickii calophonus Oberho;lser. 1899.

 and Huntington, B.C., in the summer of 1901; a summer resident 

 on Vancouver Island, found breeding on April 22nd, 1893; I 

 believe a few stay all winter as I have observed them in mid- 

 winter near Victoria. {Spreadborough.) Migrant on Vancouver 

 Island and at Sumas. {Lord.) More common on the coast than 

 in the interior. {Streator) A summer resident, chiefly west of
