THE CONDOR 
Vol. XIII 
shortly, but several seen at this season evidently intend residence. One leering 
male in the cypress grove I pasted for luck. 
28. Zonotrichia coronata. Golden-crowned Sparrow. A handsome male 
was sighted near the landing on the morning of June 2nd. 
29. Spizella passerina arizonae (?) Western (?) Chipping Sparrow\ A mem- 
ber of this June band seen in the Monterey Cypress grove — again on the 2nd. It 
might possibly have been an Easterner. 
30. Passerella iliaca townsendi. Townsend Fox Sparrow. A number of Fox 
Sparrows seen from May 31st on w’ere all apparently of the exact form of the one 
taken, which has been kindly identified by Mr. Grinnell. The “Committee” 
allows tozi'nscjidi to venture only as far south as Humboldt County in winter, so 
these rascals from the Farallones were playing a bold hand. 
31. Passerina amcena. Lazuli Bunting. A handsome male was seen by Mr. 
Rowley on the first of June, and again by myself on the day following. 
32- Piranga ludoviciana. Western Tanager. An adult female, driven by 
necessity, fed over the stony pastures which were the rightful heritage of Cassin 
Anklets and Rock Wrens — June 1st. 
33. Tachycineta thalassina lepida. Northern Violet-green Swallow. A soli- 
tary male hawked bravely about the inhabited portion of the island all day June 
1st, and made an earhy and a chilly, bunk on the telephone wire that night. 
34. Bombycilla cedrorum. Cedar Waxwing. A single bird well seen. 
35. Dendroica aestiva rubiginosa (?). Alaska!?) Yellow Warbler. A solitary 
specimen, a female, was several times sighted in the cypress grove, beginning May 
29th. The sub-specific name assigned is a mere guess based on the bird’s tardy 
appearance. 
36- Dendroica magnolia. Magnolia Warbler. These, the daintiest as well as 
the most conspicuous of the eastern wanderers, were several times seen on the 29th 
of Ma}', and a handsome male was secured on that date. Another male, bewildered 
and subdued by the strangeness of his surroundings, was encountered on the steep 
trail leading out of the Raven cave on the West End, and here, where his only 
companions were shag-flies and sea fowl, he endeavored to maintain himself for 
several days. A female was taken from the cypress grove on June 2nd. 
37. Dendroica virens. Black-throated Green Warbler. A female was secured 
at close range from the ground west of Keeper Rosendale's house. Unfortunately 
the specimen is badly shattered, but the remains are in the Academy collection to 
attest this new record for the Pacific Coast. [Previously reported in the Septem- 
ber Condor.] 
38. Dendroica townsendi. Townsend Warbler. A male well seen in the 
Monterey cypress grov'e June 1st. 
39. Seiurus aurocapillus. Oven-bird. The presence of this species, not 
previously reported west of the Rockies [save in the September Condor] gives 
character to the little bird-wave whose last beat broke on this occidental strand, 
and serves to mark its members for suspicion as wanderers rather than misdirected 
Alaskan pilgrims. This bird was caught in a vacant room of the assistant keeper’s 
house, a male in high plumage and perfectly preserved. Another was seen a few 
minutes later outside the house, and it haunted the neighborhood during the re- 
mainder of our stay. 
40. Wilsonia pusiila chryseola. Golden Pileolated Warbler. Seen on the 
21st of May. 
41. Setophaga ruticilla. Redstart. A second year male was closely ob- 
served in the cypress grove on the evening of June 1st.
