58 THE CONDOR Vol. XXIII 
Spizella atrogularis. Black-chinned Sparrow. A male with enlarged testes was 
taken near Paradise, June 23, 1919. Females and males without the black chin were 
taken from September, 1918, to February, 1919. (H.C. O.) 
Junco mearnsi mearnsi. Pink-sided Junco. A few were noted in company with 
other species of junco near Paradise. One was secured February 13, 1919. (H.C. O.) 
Progne subis subis. Purple Martin. A colony of martins was found nesting or 
about to nest in a large dead pine tree in Barfoot Park, high on the west slope. An- 
other colony was found nesting near Rustler Park on the east slope. Thinking that 
these birds might be the same as those found nesting by the writer in the pines of the 
Sierra Madre Mountains of Chihuahua, two females were secured and have been pro- 
nounced P. s. subis (H. C. O.). These birds do not nest in any other mountain range in 
southeastern Arizona. 
Bombycilla cedrorum. Cedar Waxwing. A female taken September 27, 1918, near 
Paradise showed evidence of late nesting, for the whole abdominal region was bare of 
feathers. Juvenals in the streaked plumage were taken on the same day. Birds were 
also observed in 1919. Of regular occurrence in the fall and winter months in the moun- 
tains of southeastern Arizona. 
Setophaga ruticilla. American Redstart. A male in excellent adult plumage was 
taken at about 5500 feet altitude in Cave Creek Canyon, September 11, 1918. 
Sitta canadensis. Red-breasted Nuthatch. One specimen was taken from a syca- 
more at about 5400 feet, October 1, 1919.

Otocoris alpestris leucansiptila. Yuma Horned Lark. Two specimens were taken 
March 8, 1919. (H.C. O.) 
Otocoris alpestris enthymia. Saskatchewan Horned Lark. Specimens taken in

VICINITY OF YUMA 
Myiarchus cinerascens cinerascens. Ash-throated Flycatcher. Resident in small 
numbers during the winter. 
Molothrus ater obscurus. Dwarf Cowbird. Occurs in large flocks in Yuma during 
January and February. A flock observed February 19, 1920, must have contained four 
hundred birds. Another flock on February 10 included some Brewer Blackbirds and a 
single Red-wing, the only one of the latter observed. The fields of Kafir corn furnish 
the favorite food of these birds. English Sparrows, Ground Doves, Abert Towhees, and 
Horned Larks also eat this corn. 
Vermivora celata sordida. Dusky Warbler. Evidently a winter visitant to the Col- 
orado Valley. One was taken near Yuma, December 20, 1918, and two others observed 
later. 
Yuma, Arizona, February 20, 1920.
