Dendroica townsendi. Townsend's Warbler. 



Townsend's warbler was first noted on the ridge above Maturango 

 Spring - in the Argus Range, California, where a male in full song was se- 

 cured, and others seen among the pinons May 6. From this date until the 

 departure of the party, May 15, the species was not uncommon, though 

 there was no evidence of its intention to remain and breed, as in the 

 case of the black-throated gray warbler. One was seen at Coso on May 

 19, and Mr. Stephens saw a small flock migrating among the creosote 

 bushes northeast of Little Owens Lake, the second week in May. 



Iir the Sierra Nevada Mr. Nelson saw two or three on the South Fork 

 of the Merced River August 9. They were in company with a large 

 number of other small birds of several species, gleaning insects from 

 among the lower branches as they passed from tree to tree. On the 

 coast Mi*. Bailey found it common at Monterey September 28 to October 

 9, and Mr. Nelson saw it, though very sparingly, at Morro Bay and south- 

 ward.

Dendroica occidentalis. Hermit Warbler. 



This rare warbler was first seen among the pinons in the Argus Range, 

 above Maturango Spring, where a pair was observed and a female se- 

 cured May 6. The following day another was seen. Mr. Nelson saw a 

 few among a migrating flock on the South Fork of the Merced, near 

 Wawona, August 9. Mr. Palmer saw one in a mixed flock of warblers 

 at Halsted Meadows, in the Sequoia National Park, August 7, and the 

 writer secured a specimen at Horse Corral Meadows August 13. Mr. 

 Beldiug saw migrants at Crocker's, 21 miles northwest of Yosemite Val- 

 ley, in May.
