THE CONDOR 
Vol. XIV 
to 22 this species was common in the pines on the Divide, and about Elbert. Seen 
about fifteen miles south of A-Valden, and about the Buffalo Pass saw mill. It was 
also noted west of Golden. These seem very few notes for this common .species, 
and I hardly know how to account for it. 
72. Spizella breweri. Brewer Sparrow. Two or three were seen be- 
tween Fondis and Ramah. and 1 thought I saw one near Pawnee Buttes. It was 
a common bird in the sage brush in the North Park, being observed everywhere 
we went. June 26 a nest with four eggs was found in a greasewood bush near 
Walden ; the eggs seemed to be somewhat incubated, and the nest was empty 
when visited July 18. Another with four eggs was found at Lake John, July 6; 
these were but slightly incubated, as 1 found by dropping one while examining it. 
Durand found a nest with three eggs at Walden, July 21. The species was ob- 
served at Steamboat Springs and south of there as far as Toponas, where we 
turned off into the mountains. 
73. Junco phaeonotus caniceps. Gray-headed Junco. Seen at my first 
camp on the Divide, about four miles we.st of Eastonville, May 19 : between Log 
Cabin and Elkhorn ; Chambers Lake ; west of Cameron Pass r fifteen miles south 
of Walden: Hell Creek; about i\lt. Zirkel ; near Buffalo Pass saw mill; Buffalo 
Pass : Gore Pas's : ea.st of Coulter ; and in pines about ten miles west of Golden. 
74. Melospiza melodia montana. Mountain Song Sparrow. Noted at 
Elkhorn. A little below the Mt. Zirkel camp a nest with four eggs was discov- 
ered July 9. It was on the ground in a tuft of bunch grass: from the actions 
of the bird 1 am inclined to think the eggs were well incubated. One was seen 
at Buffalo Pass, one at Steamljoat Springs, and one a few miles south of Yampa. 
75. Pipilo maculatus montanus. Mountain Towhee. One seen ne''.r 
Log Cabin, and several in the foothills west of Golden. 
76. Oreospiza chlorura. Green-tailed Towhee. Seen May 19 on the 
Divide; at Bijou Creek: near Log Cabin and between there and Elkhorn; near 
Mell Creek: near Mt. Zirkel: at Grizzly Creek; Steamboat Springs: south of 
there to Toponas; above Kremmling; near and below Empire. 
77. Zamelodia melanocephala. Black-headed Grosbeak. Observed at 
h'ort Morgan and Ault. 
78. Passerina amoena. Lazuli Bunting. Seen west of the Forks. June 15. 
79. Calamospiza melanocorys. Lark Bunting. This species was first 
noted May 19 on the Divide, when a few were seen. None were seen after that 
until about two miles ea.st of Fondis, when it became common. It continued so 
practically everywhere until after passing the ‘‘Forks’’ in Larimer County, except 
that I saw none on Cedar Point, though it was on the prairies below. On the 
high prairie country between Deer Trail and Pawnee Buttes this species and the 
Horned Larks were often the only birds seen, and the latter were the more 
abundant. It was seen near Walden. Near Sidney P. O.. Routt County, August 
2, I shot a male Lark Bunting which is a peculiar partial albino. At first sig'ht 
I took it for a Bobolink, for which I had been watching all the morning, as I had 
found them along that road four years before. The wing patches are normal 
in extent, but much tinged with rusty, and the feathers of the back and upper 
wing coverts are edged with the same. The tail is decidedly rusty. Below the 
bird is about equally Idack and white, these colors, however, being unevenly dis- 
tributed, and presenting rather a curious appearance. Also noted near Yampa.
