 This is the first occurence of this bird be-

 are aware of, but that does not neces-

The Golden-crested Wren breedin(s in the Colorado Valley. — 

 July I, at an elevation of 11,500 feet, 1 sliot an adult Golden-crested 

 Wren {Regains satrafa'). Its presence made its nesting here almost a 

 certainty, but all doubts were set at rest by the capture of a young bird 

 just from the nest, in another part of the county, at 11,000 feet on July 25. 

 Several others were heard and seen. I judge it is not uncommon, but 

 from the fact of its ordinary' call-notes being so deceptively similar to the 

 Creeper's notes, it is easily passed by. So far as I know it seems to range 

 a little above the bulk of the Ruby-crowns. — Frank M. Drew, Hotv-

97. Regulus satrapa. Golden-crested Kinglet. — Throughout the 

 sombre balsam forest on the upper slopes and ridges of the Black Moun- 

 tains this Kinglet was one of the most numerous and characteristic birds. 

 The males were in full song at the time of my visit (June i, 2), but as they 

 kept well up in the tree-tops it was next to impossible to get a sight 

 at one. Indeed, the single specimen which I shot cost more than an hour's 

 persistent labor. This specimen seems to be identical with northern birds. 

 The song, also, was quite normal.
